AMBEX courses generally meet General Education, Elective and/or Major (upper division) requirements. It is desired that every course/credit count toward graduation; check with your college Registrar to see how AMBEX credits may be applied. At some colleges some AMBEX courses may serve solely for spiritual and professional advancement but still appear on the transcript.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Martin Niemoeller - Leaders of the Confessing Church and Models of Courage
HU493BNAM
3 Semester Units
Germany, in the days of the Third Reich, presents for Christians a window through which to view how brave believers dealt with life and death issues under the hand of a murderous state. Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Martin Niemöller were two such believers. They were convinced that the Gospel was more than a simple sermon on Sunday, but rather a life of light that stood resolutely against the ideological darkness of the Nazis. This course offers the opportunity to study the life and writings of Bonhoeffer and Niemöller and learn what the cost of discipleship meant to them in those perilous days.

Art History of the Western World
aka Images of Humanity and Christianity in Art
AT334AMAM
3 Semester Units
This course provides an introduction to the history and theory of the visual arts in Western culture from Pre-history to the present day. Christians should be wise in understanding the ways of the world, while being conscious to avoid imitating the world. This is especially complex in the field of study involving human culture, and the visual arts in particular. This course should help. We will discuss the major artistic trends, artists, and works of each period, especially through a Christian lens. We will also discuss the historical and philosophical settings of each period. Students will learn artistic terminology and will be able to recognize major works of art of these periods. By the end of the course, students will be able to place art and artists within their respective social, political, philosophical and religious contexts. We will travel to Venice, Florence, and other locations, viewing significant works in museums such as the Uffizi in Florence as well as cathedrals and monasteries. The course will also count toward General Education requirements.
