Divine Variations
August, 2021

Terrence Keel uncovers the way Christian thought became racial science. This symposium looks at the important questions this book raises about anthropology, creation, divine agency, medical practice, scientific racism, reception history, and white supremacy.

The Goodness of Creation
May, 2021

What do Christians mean when they confess that creation is good? The question is compounded by the appearance of evil in the world. This series explores for elements of creation’s goodness: The goodness of its Creator, created being, materiality, and its end.

Animal Suffering and the Darwinian Problem of Evil
April, 2021

This symposium mines the depths of the age old problem of evil. However, this time it takes a slightly different perspective: Why do animals suffer? How do we square animal suffering with the science of evolution and the truths of Scripture? This six-part series digs deeper into these questions.

Plundering Eden
March, 2021

This book fits within that emerging field of Christian theological responses to ecological problems. In Plundering Eden, Wagenfuhr claims that the root cause of our ecological is a broken imagination, and he argues that reconciliation with God the Creator through Jesus Christ is the only means to ecological healing through a renewed, kenotic imagination expressed in the creation of an alternate environment that reveals the kingdom of God--the ekklesia.

The Genealogical Adam and Eve
August, 2020

Evolutionary science teaches that humans arose as a population, sharing common ancestors with other animals. The book of Genesis seems to say that all humans descended from Adam and Eve, a couple specially created by God. These two teachings seem contradictory, but is that necessarily so? In the Genalogical Adam and Eve, Swamidass draws upon some well-established but overlooked scientific insights to advance a new proposal on this old conversation.

Miracles
January, 2020

God works in miraculous ways. In this series, various scholars engage the work of Luke Timothy Johnson on God's continued presence and power in creation. Johnson proposes an alternative to the secular vision and shows that signs and wonders are at the heart of the Christian faith.

Unlocking Divine Action
January, 2020

Divine action is bound up with our notions of causality. The way God acts in the world is unlike any other agent, because he is the Cause of all other causes, the Creator and Sustainer of everything that exists. In Unlocking Divine Action, Michael Dodds reframes the conversation about divine action. He retrieves some of Thomas Aquinas’s teaching on causality and applies those ideas to the doctrines of freedom, providence, prayer, and miracles.

Undeniable
January, 2018

In Undeniable, Molecular Biologist Douglas Axe shows how biology confirms our "design intuition," which is our innate sense that the world was intentionally created. Despite evolutionary theory, biology verifies that there's a God who deliberately designed the world.

Confessing Creation with Augustine
August, 2017

When we think of Augustine, we tend to think of his emphasis on divine grace, or his high doctrine of the church, or his penetrating insights into the Trinity. But in many ways, the doctrine of creation was at the core of who Augustine was, both as a theologian and as a Christian.
