The IA is a research project where students are required to ask a question of a certain religion and find the answer to it. Part A is the rationale for the topic chosen and the preliminary research.
3/25- Doubt & Belief Reading
This reading was about how both Christians and atheists have both doubt and belief in common. For Christians, the doubt is if God does not exist and the teachings of Christianity are false. The belief is that God does exist and all the teachings are true. For atheists, the doubt is if Christianity is true and the belief is that it is not true and there is no God.
3/29 - Faith by Pope Worksheet
This reading talked about four different stories dealing with the Christian faith. One was about a clown telling the village that a fire was coming and the village did not believe him because they thought he was putting on an act. Another talked about a man in the ocean being saved from drowning only by clinging to a cross that was floating in the water and how his near death experience brought him closer to God. Another was a woman lying on her death bed and at the end of her life not being sure if Christianity was true. The last was about a non-believer asking a rabbi what if his beliefs were false and the rabbi replying "yet, perhaps it is true."

4/13 - Design Worksheet by Kreeft
This reading talked about how everything that is designed must have a designer. Kreeft is saying that although it is possible that the universe happened by chance, it is infinitely more likely that it was designed. Kreeft asserts that the designer is God and that because there is beauty and meaning in the world, it must have been designed by God.
4/15 - Revelation Worksheet
This reading talked about the nature of God being in three parts and how we could not have figured this out by reason alone. It talks about how Christianity is unique from all other religions because of its doctrines of the Trinity (God being Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and the Incarnation (Christ being Man and Divine). The reading says that God's revelation of His true nature is the ultimate form of love.
4/19 - Jesus: Liar or Lord? by Kreeft
This reading talks about how Jesus was either the Lord or a liar. If everything Jesus said was true, he was the Lord. However, if Jesus' teachings were false, he was a liar who was a terrible man because he claimed to be God. The reading talked about how Jesus could not be a liar or a lunatic and that the only possible true claim was that Jesus is the Lord
4/21 - IA Part C
Part C is the summary of information.
PART TWO
4/29 - A Father Who Keeps His Promises + IA Part E
