Human forgiveness is generally regarded as a private, personal ethic.

Dr. Amy Black, Associate Professor of Political Science
3/26/09 - Beyond Left and Right: Christians and Politics Listen (MP3
download)
In a time of economic crisis and political turmoil, why does bipartisan cooperation seem so elusive? Is it possible to respect one another's political differences yet foster constructive dialogue? Dr. Amy Black will suggest ways that Christians can move beyond the polarizing rhetoric and engage in politics as a means of demonstrating love for one's neighbor. |

Dr. Douglas Moo, Blanchard Professor of New Testament
2/27/09 - All Things New: God's Program of New Creation Listen (MP3 download)
Christians often fail to realize how extensive the transformation is that God brings about through the work of his Son. God transforms people who belong to Christ, creates a new community with transformed values, and will bring about a transformation of the entire universe. The language of "new creation" in Paul's letters reminds us of all that God is doing and demands that we, his children, respond to this transforming work. |

Dr. Jerry Root, Assistant Professor of Evangelism/Associate Director of the Institute of Strategic Evangelism, Billy Graham Center
4/3/09 - Spiritual Maturity and the Good News Listen (MP3 download)
In Romans 1 the Apostle Paul said the Gospel is "the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes." Throughout Church history, Christians have understood that the Gospel allows believers to redefine who they are in Christ. Christian maturity is growing in grace in a way that leads to the discovery of God’s purposes and calling in the believer’s life. Dr. Root will explore some features relative to how the Gospel transforms and redefines us by the love of God. By considering this, we can discover God’s intention for our lives—to use each of us "for Christ and His Kingdom." |

Dr. Daniel Block, Gunther H. Knoedler Professor of Old Testament
4/17/09 - The Ten Commandments: The World's First Bill of Rights
The Ten Commandments of Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5 may be interpreted as the world's oldest Bill of Rights. This ancient document seeks to ensure the well-being of society by calling on individuals to be primarily concerned about the rights and well-being of others. Dr. Block will discuss how Jesus could distill all the commands into one simple statement: "You shall love the Lord your God and your neighbor as yourself." |

Dr. P.J. Hill, George
F. Bennett Professor of Economics
4/25/09 - Capitalism and Christianity: Friends, Foes, or
Uneasy Partners?
During the 20th century, market capitalism was found to be the most successful way of ensuring increases in material well-being in a society. This raises an important question for the Christian: What is there in our understanding of human nature that provides insight into the success of a system based on private property and markets? The material success of capitalism also raises important issues about other aspects of human flourishing. What are the moral and ethical implications of a market economy? Dr. Hill will address these questions. |

Dr. Roger Lundin, Blanchard Professor of English
4/16/09 - 'This is My Body': The Modern World and the Incarnation
The incarnation is the source of our Christian hope and provides a key to understanding how we are to live and move and have our being in God's world. Drawing upon modern fiction, poetry, and film, we will explore the contemporary relevance of the remarkable fact that the "Word became flesh and dwelt among us." |
 |
Dr. Jay Wood, Professor of Philosophy
4/17/09 - The Faith of a Philosopher
Philosophy is perceived by many evangelicals as hostile to faith. St. Paul’s warning that we not be taken captive by philosophy and empty deceit contributes to this impression, as does the fact that many philosophers are among the world’s greatest atheists. Against this perception, Dr. Wood will share how philosophy has played a key role in his faith journey. He will discuss how Christian philosophy is an important ally of our faith. |
