Philosophy and Theology
Is It Possible to Find Meaning in a Material World?
Dr. Jeremy Evans
$1.99What does it mean to live a rich, meaningful life? Can a strict materialist hope to live a meaningful life? Truly honest atheists have to acknowledge the fact that objective, enduring meaning cannot exist for them. The "noble lie" of subjective meaning is their best remaining option as they grasp for abiding purpose. At what point should a person jettison this pessimistic perspective on life for a more robust story? Evans argues that the Christian worldview supplies a more satisfactory analysis of reality and infuses the world with many typs of meaning (i.e. subjective, objective, teleological, etc.).
The Credibility of Biblical Miracle Reports
Dr. Craig Keener
$1.99Can a 21st century, modern person really accept the notion of miracles? Isn't belief in miracles an irrational belief? Keener reexamines David Hume's claim that uniform human experience denies the possibility of miracles. Keener takes issue with this claim and counters it by arguing that there are in fact people today who claim to experience miracles. Therefore, there is not uniform exclusion of their possibility. If there remains a possibility for miracles, then it would behoove a skeptic to reevaluate the miracle accounts found in Scripture.
Theistic Evolution: A Stable Middle Ground?
Dr. Garry DeWeese
$1.99The evidence for evolution is impressive, and a growing number of evangelicals are embracing some form of "theistic evolution," the view that God used evolutionary processes to produce humans by common descent with modification and natural selection. I argue that there are philosophical, scientific, and above all theological reasons to doubt that theistic evolution is a tenable position.
The Making of An Atheist: How Immorality Leads to Unbelief
Dr. James S. Spiegel
$1.99The new atheists are having a significant impact on our culture today, and Christian apologists have provided some strong rejoinders to their arguments. However, we cannot ignore the moral and psychological dimensions of atheism, such as those described in Romans 1 and Ephesians 4. In this session I will explain how atheism is essentially a cognitive disorder arising from willful resistance to the evidence for God. I will also discuss the implications for apologetics. How should this insight impact the way we defend the faith to unbelievers, atheists in particular? You can learn more by visiting www.themakingofantheist.com
God and the Genocide of the Canaanites
Dr. Matthew Flannagan
$1.99How could a just and loving God command Joshua to genocide the Canaanites as is apparently taught in the Old Testament? Is God really a moral monster as Christianity’s critics use these passages to claim? Matthew will re-examine these passages in light of the context they were written in showing that the skeptics' case against God relies on a questionable reading of the Old Testament.
Hiddenness of God
Dr. Michael C. Rea
$1.99The hiddenness of God is one of the two most important sources of objection to Christian belief, and also one of the most important sources of doubt and distress for committed Christians. In this talk, I'll explore at least three different strategies for understanding and coping with divine hiddenness
How to Respond When God Gives You the Silent Treatment
Dr. Gary R. Habermas
$1.99Does God still communicate with us today as He did in biblical times? This lecture explores God's present supernatural involvement in the world, as well as why we often miss it. We also consider why we often cause ourselves pain by confusing the issues.
The Insufficiency of Naturalism: A Worldview Critique
Dr. Robert B. Stewart
$1.99The New Atheists and other metaphysical naturalists have been much in the news of late. This lecture will analyze and critique the New Atheist€™s metaphysical naturalism as a worldview. I will argue that metaphysical naturalism fails in the crucial worldview areas of coherence, comprehensiveness, and consistency. In other words, metaphysical naturalism is not only self-contradictory, myopic, but also practically and existentially inadequate
Can Atheists Be Good Without God? Yes and No
Dr. Paul Copan
$1.99Because humans have been made in God's image, our basic moral intuitions as well as our moral obligations and dignity/rights are best accounted for by the existence of a good God. Naturalistic attempts to ground objective morality fail to show how value could emerge from valuelessness, and naturalistic efforts to explain away objective morality (through evolution or cultural influences) prove to be inadequate and counter-intuitive.
Argument from Consciousness
Dr. J.P. Moreland
$1.99This emerging and cutting-edge argument for the existence of God attempts to show that theism, compared to naturalism, better explains the existence of consciousness, the existence of other minds and souls. Moreland provides reasons, evidence and important examples for this argument.
Did Jesus Have to Die? Defending the Christian Doctrine of Atonement
Dr. Steven L. Porter
$1.99With philosophical persuasion formed by a biblically-informed theology, Porter offers a compelling case for why Jesus had to die.
The Incarnation of Christ in Philosophical Perspective
Dr. Paul Copan
$1.99With philosophical clarity, theological soundness, and winsomeness, Copan helps us understand how Jesus Christ can be both truly human and truly divine.
Making Sense of the Trinity
Dr. Garry DeWeese
$1.99The doctrine of the trinity is one of these areas where there is a beautiful blend of theological and philosophical knowledge to help us better understand the God to whom we love, worship and obey. DeWeese presents such knowledge with pastoral care and skillful understanding.
Why Doesn't God Show Himself? The Hiddeness of God in Philosophical Perspective
Dr. Michael C. Rea
$1.99If God is truly God, why doesn't he just announce it in the case or make his existence more visible? Rea wrestles this sort of question and provides philosophical resources to aid in our understanding.
What Does God Know? The Problems of Open Theism
Dr. David Paul Hunt
$1.99Does God know the future free acts of human persons? "Open theists" say, "no!" and Classic theists say, "yes!" Philosopher David Paul Hunt clarifies this discussion in a biblically-informed and philosophically serious way.
Why I Believe in Hell: A Philosopher's Reasoning
Dr. Paul Copan
$1.99Is the existence and purpose of Hell a problem for Christianity? Copan intelligently and respectfully argues that it is not a problem.
