About

Christianity is the world’s largest religion. Approximately a third of the global population identifies as Christian, which has been influential in the development of parapsychology. Yet many have the impression that Christianity and parapsychology are incompatible and that all psychic phenomena are demonic deceptions. Even many Christians have the impression that “it’s always demons.” However, the scope of Christian thought is actually broader, and historic Christian thinkers have been open to psi phenomenon. This course surveys the scope of Christian thought on parapsychological topics including extra-sensory perception (ESP), psychokinesis (PK), the survival of bodily death, and Church-sponsored field investigations of paranormal phenomena like apparitions, miracles, and spirit possession. **Tuition:** $119 ($109 for Rhine members) [Course Syllabus](https://www.rhineedu.org/index.php/school-of-liberal-arts-creative-sciences?view=article&id=274:syllabus-psi-in-christianity&catid=82:syllabus-classes) [Apply for this course](https://fs21.formsite.com/rhineonline/form19/index) [Instructor's Biography](https://www.rhineedu.org/index.php/school-of-liberal-arts-creative-sciences?view=article&id=263:rhine-education-center-instructors-jimmy-akin&catid=83:instructors) This 4-week course is presented as part of the *[School of](https://www.rhineedu.org/index.php/school-of-liberal-arts-creative-sciences)*[ ](https://www.rhineedu.org/index.php/school-of-liberal-arts-creative-sciences)*[Liberal Arts and Creative Sciences](https://www.rhineedu.org/index.php/school-of-liberal-arts-creative-sciences)* programs from the Rhine Education Center.
