Hour 1: The Reliability of the New Testament
How did the New Testament come to be?
The ancient writings that comprise the New Testament are critical for understanding the life, teachings, and impact of Jesus of Nazareth, all of which are central to Christianity. But how were these texts circulated, collected, and given their canonical status? Is the New Testament a trustworthy source for learning about Jesus and the early church?
New Testament scholar Charles L. Quarles will join us to address the most pressing questions regarding the study of New Testament texts, their transmission, and their collection into the canon.
Hour 2: Mounting Global Threats
Join us as we once again connect with one of the most prestigious columnists in Washington, D.C. Freshly back from a trip to Asia where he accompanied the Secretary of Defense, Bill Gertz has much to share about the growing tension swirling around China’s continued threats against Taiwan and their aggressive plans for the use of AI to accomplish their goal of global hegemony. Don’t miss this fascinating conversation.
