Recordings from the seminar: “Explore Evidence for Christianity” | October 14 and 15, 2022

Audio | Video | The New Humanity | John D. Martin | God created a perfect humanity. All of us still carry the ideals of that humanity in our hearts. But attempts to fulfill those ideals in a fallen world usually end in disillusionment. Have these ideals been left to mock fallen man, or has God given us a way for their genuine fulfillment?

Audio | Video | Part 3
How did God superintend the writing, canonization, and preservation of scripture? Who were the biblical authors and who decided which books to include? Why is a written Word of God important for a Judeo/Christian worldview?

Audio | Video | Faith, Philosophy, and the Emergence of Modern Science | Phillip Martin | Science as we know it arose out of western Europe during the last millennium. Why did modern science arise there, and not somewhere else? What theological and philosophical world-views contributed to its rise, and are, arguably, essential to its survival? Enjoy this presentation by a practicing scientist.

Audio | Video | Science, Ethics, and the Quest for a Better Life | Phillip Martin | Science and the scientific method is one of the most powerful tools at humanity’s disposal. But how should we use this tool? What ethical and moral standard(s) should guide our decision making?
