Kevin Schultz
July 16-18 | Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday | 7–8:15 PM ET

In an often hostile environment, how does one maintain conviction and credibility when arguing unpopular positions? The key, of course, is knowledge and expertise, grace and wisdom. But sometimes even knowledge and expertise are not enough to engage a rival point of view. In today’s cultural climate, defending Israel can feel like a huge, even overwhelming, task given the assumptions, worldviews, and often outright hatred coming from Israel’s detractors. In this timely course, you will learn how to evaluate arguments, identify ideologies, and understand the perspectives that often underlie the opposition to Israel, apart from any particular fact or news cycle item.
