In the Market with Janet Parshall
February 21, 2024
Hour 1: Crisis of Confidence
In today's changing culture, ancient liturgical tradition is not only biblical---it's essential! Our guest will help believers maintain a strong foundation by analyzing how creeds and confessions aid the church in navigating modern concerns, particularly issues on identity. He will also discuss the dangers of the rise of expressive individualism. Get ready to think biblically and critically.
Hour 2: A Theory of Everything
The success of the movie Oppenheimer is causing many to reconsider the theory of relativity and its impact on the world. Einstein’s revolutionary scientific ideas have transformed our world, ushering in the nuclear age. The current pace of scientific and technological progress is simply astounding. So, is there any place for faith in such a world? Einstein himself gave careful thought to the deepest questions of life. His towering intellectual status means he is someone worth listening to when we think through the big questions of life:
· Can science answer all our questions?
· Why is religion so important in life?
· How can we hold together science and faith?
Our guest will examine the life and work of Einstein, explaining his scientific significance and considering what Einstein did and did not believe about science, religion, and the meaning of life.
