May Forum: Has the Bible Been Accurately Transmitted and Preserved Through the Centuries?

Posted: Monday, April 30th, 2012

A special presentation by
Dr. Daniel B. Wallace

When you read the Bible, how do you know that what you’re reading is what the authors originally wrote?

Dr. Daniel B. Wallace is the Executive Director of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts and an expert in the field of Biblical textual criticism. For several years his team at CSNTM has been involved in photographing the oldest and most ‘at risk’ Biblical manuscripts in the world, and in the process they have discovered many manuscripts that were previously unknown to exist.

Join us for this fascinating presentation as Dr. Wallace explains why we can trust that the Bible has been accurately transmitted and preserved through the centuries.

March Forum with Dr. Mike Licona

Posted: Friday, February 17th, 2012

Dr. Mike LiconaNew Insights into the Resurrection of Jesus

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the linchpin of the Christian faith. As the apostle Paul wrote, “If Christ has not been raised from the dead, our preaching is useless and so is your faith” (I Cor. 15:14).

Yet the resurrection has been one of the most controversial of all Christian doctrines, and debates over the historical accuracy of the New Testament accounts of the resurrection continue to the present.

Dr. Mike Licona is the author of “The Resurrection of Jesus: A New Historiographical Approach” – the most comprehensive study of the resurrection ever written.

Mike Licona earned his Ph.D. in New Testament Studies from the University of Pretoria and is one of the foremost Christian apologists and debaters on the scene today. Find out more about his ministry and numerous books at RisenJesus.com.

February Forum with Dr. Timothy Dalrymple

The Ladder of Thorns: Finding God in a Life of Suffering

by Timothy Dalrymple, Ph.D.

Thursday, February 16 • 7:30 PM
Perimeter Church • Fellowship Hall

The relationship between human suffering and divine love is an enduring concern for Western philosophical and religious thought. Does suffering serve a purpose? From whence does it come? How does it shape the human spirit, and how should it inform our faith?

The Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard (1813-55) developed an original and compelling response to these questions: a “ladder” of suffering in which each form of human suffering will – if we let it – serve in essential ways to break down our former self, reduce it to nothing, and bring forth a new creation in Christ.

Forum with Carol Swain: Does Political Correctness Threaten Religious Liberty?

Posted: Saturday, December 10th, 2011

Carol Swain is an award-winning author and media personality. She is a noted expert on race relations, immigration and evangelical politics and is recognized as one of the boldest defenders of the faith and Christian heritage in America. Her personal story leaves the hearer with a sense of awe about the power of Christ to transform a life and then use that life to touch others.

Recently, Swain authored Be The People: A Call to Reclaim America’s Faith and Promise, in which she argues that the “unbiblical” direction the country has taken has severely discredited America and its standing in the world. Her book is a tour de force that not only identifies the problems, but outlines specific solutions. “In order to gain control and indoctrinate others, ‘cultural enforcers’ in media, education and government have seized responsibility to set the standards of behavior for the rest of the American people,” she said. The Constitution was addressed to ‘We the People.’ If our nation fails, it will be because we have allowed it to fail. Dr. Swain calls us to be the people our nation’s founders envisioned.
