Here are the talk summaries. All talks given by Pastor Douglas Wilson

Friday Evening, Oct. 1, 7:30pm

Assuming the World
When talking to unbelievers, we often don’t go back to the beginning. We try to reason with them in media res, in the middle of things. But what are the preconditions for the world we live in? In fact, what are the preconditions for even having this discussion with the unbeliever? Given what he says about the world, can he be conducting a debate? Unbelievers have to borrow from believers in order to deny the faith.

Saturday Morning, Oct. 2, 9:00 and 10:45am
Can Reason Prove the Bible to be True?
Many Christians think that “science” or “reason” or “historical study” or “archeology” can prove the truth of the Bible. And they certainly can confirm things that the Bible teaches. But is this the same thing as “proving.” Where do the laws that govern science, reasons, and so forth come from?

Street Level Apologetics
How do you actually talk to that atheist at work? Or the postmodern couple living together next door? How do you respond to the agnostic who just shrugs and says he doesn’t know?

Sunday Morning, Oct. 3, at Providence Church, CREC, 9:00am

Mere Christendom
Too many Christians have accommodated themselves to the idea of secularism, and since secularism is in the process of collapsing, it is time we rethought our theological foundations on this subject.

Sunday Evening, Oct. 3,  at Rivermont EPC, 6:30pm
Assuming the Center
Scripture tells us that the world will be converted through the “foolishness of preaching.” God’s appointed instrument is declaration, not tightly reasoned syllogisms. There is a place for reason, certainly, but the driving engine of all apologetics has to be unabashedly unapologetic.
