Join us to hear a respected theologian review two decades of inquiry regarding the meaning of Israel and Judaism, addressing the perennially important issue of the relationship between Christianity and the people and land of Israel. You will hear a challenge to the widespread Christian assumption that since Jesus came to earth, Jews are no longer special to God as a people, and the land of Israel is no longer theologically significant. Prepare to hear a robust defense of a "New Christian Zionism."
How can we live in a culture that's increasingly hostile to Christian values? How can we apply Scripture to the ethics of abortion, homosexuality, environmental stewardship, and other issues? Organized according to the structure of the Ten Commandments, our guest will give us an introduction to biblical moral reasoning and provide a framework to help believers live a life pleasing to God.
