Plate. History of Ideas.

Every live cultural fight is downstream of an idea — about the self, about history, about whether truth is real. This is not a philosophy survey and not a theology class. Students watch a claim leave a philosopher’s page and enter revolutions, law, and the slogans on their phones, then trace it back and test it against Scripture.
