Christian History Series #2: Are We Living in the Matrix? (Part 6)

As Christianity gained more and more adherents in the second and third centuries, another threat rose against it. This time, instead of persecuting from without, new cults sprang up threatening to corrupt it from within. The most prevalent of these were the various forms of Gnosticism, each of which denied the reality of the physical world and held up the spiritual as a higher level of being. In this session, Lenny will discuss the tenets of Gnosticism and show why the early church held that God is God of the material world—including our bodies and our biology—as well as the spiritual!

Christian History Series #1: Eleven Breaking into the Upside-Down (Part 6)

The first Christians were part of a world that was so different from our own that we would hardly recognize it. Not only did they battle persecution and discrimination, but the very values we now take for granted — like individuals being equal — were considered strange and dangerous. Rome saw the teachings of Christianity as a threat to their culture and they were right. The eleven apostles took the Gospel of Jesus and broke through the upside-down culture of ancient Rome to establish a new way of thinking, paying for it with their blood.

Building the Canon: Is the Bible Missing Books? (Part 6)

In this series, Lenny takes on some of the popular objections and shows why we can be sure only these specific books from the Old and New Testaments are authoritative for Christians today.

Applying Middle Knowledge to Difficult Questions (Part 4)

Applying Middle Knowledge to Difficult Questions (Part 4)

The seeming tension of God’s sovereignty versus man’s freedom has offered fertile ground for rich theological discussion. While various solutions have been offered, one underappreciated view is the concept of God drawing upon His Middle Knowledge in ordering the events of the world. In this series, Lenny looks at the solutions the Middle Knowledge position offers, specifically regarding why God allows evil in the world, why evangelism is necessary if God has predestined people to be saved, and how prayer may be efficacious even if the petitioner is praying after the events have been decided.

Wrestling with Worldviews (Part 2)

What’s a worldview and why is it important? A worldview is the way one sees and interprets the way the world works. It's basically a framework for understanding and interpreting the various facts we encounter in our lives. Although our society used to be based on a Judeo-Christian worldview, culture has shifted away from those assumptions, making it more difficult for people to understand Christians and Christianity.

In this interview, Lenny and Sean discuss how the new content and contributions from dozens of the latest scholars make this a new staple in apologetics reference books for years to come. Listen in.
