Key biblical references include Matthew 28:19 and Deuteronomy 6:4. Discussion includes the definitions of unbelief and definitions of terms like heathen, atheist, and agnostic. It emphasizes God's role as the Creator who made all things, the creation of mankind in His image, and the need for faith based on hearing God's word. Assignments aim to deepen understanding and reinforce faith.
