The Death of Death:
How Easter Changes Everything
with Dr Gary Habermas
on
Monday, March 29th at 7:30pm BST
At the heart of Christianity is a claim with wild implications: that the Son of God, Jesus Christ, was put to death at the hands of Roman soldiers and yet, less than 72 hours later, was alive again. The wild implications: that he really was who he claimed to be, and that his resurrection resoundingly defeated death, giving hope of our own resurrection to come. We put faith in many things to prolong our lives – vaccines, tofu, kombucha – and yet still have not found a way to defeat what the Bible calls 'the last enemy', death itself. Could it be that the Easter Story has something to say to a society striving for eternity?
After a presentation from Dr Habermas, there will be the opportunity for discussion and Q and A.

One of the many joys of historical research is that one gets to meet great minds that have somehow fallen through the cracks of popular history.

If humans are in need of improvement how can this be accomplished? Should we aim to become 'posthuman' by merging with the machine, or is there a better path to our renewal? ...
Every major worldview has to explain human brokenness in some way. This webinar examines the various accounts offered today and asks whether they hold up under investigation. ...
As modern people, we like to think that we have got things firmly under control. We don't do well, as a rule, with those aspects of life which defy our management - the great realities which resist being tamed. Take the seasons, for example. Traditionally, the ebb and flow of...
'What is time?', asked St Augustine. 'If no one asks me I know, but if I wish to explain it, I know not'. To be human is to have a consciousness of time, including a sense of our mortality. Andrew Fellows examines what it is to live in time as...
Contemporary Western culture sees itself as broadly liberal, a value framework which has given us democracy, the rule of law, toleration, human rights and a market economy – all things to be grateful for. With the collapse of Communism, there was an air of self-congratulation. Some spoke of the ‘end...
In this session, we ask what our longings mean: where do they come from, and where do they move us? Our desires, though frequently misdirected and incomplete, provide the essential key to understanding ourselves. ...
