Description

How should government use power? When is secrecy justified? What does justice look like in a fallen world?

Apologia’s Live Class, Government, Intelligence, and Law Enforcement: A Biblical Perspective, challenges students to explore these questions by examining real-world case studies, ethical dilemmas, and biblical principles. Taught by a retired law enforcement professional with extensive experience in public service and ethics education, this course provides students with an informed, thoughtful framework for understanding governance, national security, and law enforcement.

Students gain a deeper understanding of how these institutions function and how they should function, learning to think critically, engage thoughtfully, and live out their faith with wisdom and integrity in the public square.

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. -Romans 13:1
