Part II of Andrew Fellows' Fall talk series.   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.   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 see that humans only become who they were meant to be in relation to the One who is the great 'I AM'.   ...

We tend to think that bringing a child into the world is a good thing – something to be celebrated, in fact. This assumption is challenged by antinatalism, an ethical stance which argues that procreation is in itself morally wrong, and should therefore be abandoned.

In this webinar, Chris explores how the Bible embodies and encourages cultural engagement of the broadest and most penetrating sort, revealing how we can become wise cultural critics.   ...
