Here’s what we got goin for this Saturday (March 6) at the Bucer Institute:
Duane Garner will be speaking on “Patriotism or Nationalism?” and “Conspiracy Theories and the Conspirators Who Believe Them”
I’ll be speaking on “America’s Wars” (an analysis of our country’s major wars beginning with the War for Independence and going through Vietnam).
It all begins at 9:00 a.m. It should be fun so plan to join us!
Will the audio from the lectures this weekend be for sale anytime in the near future?
Jon, yes, check with AA Media. They should be available soon.
These lectures will be available in CD & MP3 formats in the next few days from Auburn Avenue Media. http://www.auburnavenuemedia.org/mp3.html
I attended these lectures and found them extremely informative. This is the kind of information that Christians should have and seldom, if ever, get any of. Consequently, being poorly informed regarding history, many evangelicals come down on the wrong side of most historical or political questions because they react off the top of their heads and simply do not have a historical perspective to work from.
If I asked a group of 100 evangelicals what the real cause of the War Between the States was I would be willing to guess that 85 of them would say slavery. It’s what they’ve been erroneously taught and they’ve never taken the trouble to question it or to look any further than what some “history” professor or television commentator said. We need to do better, and lectures such as these are a big step in the right direction.
