Aesthetics and the Knowledge of God

with Matt Peckham

Monday, October 11th at 7:30pm BST

Whether in story or poetry, through imagery or imagination, aesthetic experience brings significant meaning to our lives. But is this meaning merely subjective? Do aesthetics and the affections help the pursuit of truth or hinder it? And how might the Bible help us understand the interplay between 'head knowledge' and 'heart knowledge'?

Join us as we consider the role that aesthetics plays in how we come to know things, revealing as we do the affective nature of knowing with its practical and theological implications.

We hope you will consider joining us in person in the Round Church for this talk! A livestream link will also be added here closer to the event date for those who are unable to come in person.

The Doctrine of God for a Self-Obsessed Age

Part I: The God Who is Not Like You

with Andrew Fellows

on

Monday, October 18th at 7:30pm BST

The German philosopher Nietzsche predicted that the ‘death of God’ would lead to a culture of emptiness.  That has transpired and our voided age needs God. But which God? In this lecture series Andrew Fellows argues that the antidote is a deep engagement with the true and living God and that He alone is the way back to reality, stability, and true happiness.

While the modern outlook reduces everything to some version of a monistic oneness, Christianity holds out a vision of two distinct orders of being. One is the unique life of God, and the other is creation. In this lecture, we will see how grasping this distinction is the key to understanding reality rightly.

The Doctrine of God for a Self-Obsessed Age

Part II: The God Who is True to Himself

In this lecture series Andrew Fellows argues that the antidote is a deep engagement with the true and living God and that He alone is the way back to reality, stability, and true happiness.

The nature of who God is means that He is always true to Himself. Contrary to what we believe, this is simply not possible for humans. In this lecture we will see that humans only become who they were meant to be in relation to the One who is the great 'I AM'.

The Doctrine of God for a Self-Obsessed Age

Part III: The God Who Loves Himself (But is Not a Narcissist)

with Andrew Fellows

Monday, November 1st at 7:30pm GMT (DATE SUBJECT TO CHANGE)

The German philosopher Nietzsche predicted that the ‘death of God’ would lead to a culture of emptiness.  That has transpired and our voided age needs God. But which God? In this lecture series Andrew Fellows argues that the antidote is a deep engagement with the true and living God and that He alone is the way back to reality, stability, and true happiness.

Because of His own Divine perfections God of necessity has a total regard and love for Himself. But doesn't that make Him a narcissist? In this lecture we will see how God's satisfaction and rest in Himself is the real foundation for our happiness.
