Ideas matter. Our culture today is shaped - for better or worse - by the ideas of brilliant thinkers from prior generations. We encounter their ideas every day, and as Christians we ought to be able to understand, learn from, and respond to the foundational ideas of our culture. This three-day evening seminar introduces you to the greatest thinkers of human history and maps the "history of ideas" from the classical Greeks down to existentialists and postmoderns today.
Each evening features four hours of lecture, with a break for dinner. During the day before each lecture, you will read brief selections from some of the great thinkers we'll be discussing, acquainting you with their ideas in their own words. Prepare to be challenged, but no prior familiarity with philosophy is required or expected. The first day will cover philosophers from Plato through Aquinas, the second will cover Descartes through Kant, and the third evening will begin with Kierkegaard and end with postmodernism. The cost is $85 for the first member of each family, then $49 for each additional family member. There is a $10 discount per family for groups of five or more. The seminar is for ages fourteen to adult.
Description coming soon.
If Christianity is true, then a perfect God created a world in which there is an appalling amount of suffering, evil, and sin. If God allows evil in creation, how can He be good? If he would like to prevent evil in creation but cannot, how can He be all-powerful?
The "problem of evil" is one of the most powerful arguments against Christianity, compelling on both a logical and a personal level. This seminar draws on the work of some of Christianity's greatest theologians and philosophers to explore the problem of evil and offer a satisfying, biblical response that will reaffirm your own faith while preparing you to respond graciously and persuasively to those who raise questions about the existence of evil in God's world. Though the reality of sin and suffering cannot be ignored, you'll discover that the existence of evil actually bears testimony to God's wisdom, power, and love for His people in the context of His ultimate plan for creation.
The problem of evil seminar is two hours long. The cost is $25 for the first member of each family, then $15 for each additional family member. The seminar is for ages fourteen to adult.
Description coming soon.
