What if our desires and preferences have been shaped and manipulated by a culture of marketing? Who are we then? On this program, the hosts will introduce this new White Horse Inn series as they explore issues related […]

Generation Me
Who are millennials, and how is their basic outlook on life different from preceding generations? According to some studies, the period in which you were born has more influence on your personality than the parents who raised you. What are the implications of this, and how do generational differences relate to the concept of personal […]

You Are Not Your Own
In the ancient world, if someone wished to free a slave, he would first have to pay the redemption price. In the same way, Paul says to those who have been redeemed by Christ, “You are not your own, but were bought with a price” (1Cor 6:19-20). The hosts will discuss the implications of this […]

Same-Sex Attraction
What should we think about the issue of same-sex attraction? Is it essentially the same as being gay? How does the issue of sexual preference relate to our identity as Christians, and how are we to talk about our differences with others in a world that is increasingly accepting of homosexuality and same-sex marriage?

The Alternate Enchantment of the Reformation
Since the 2007 release of Charles Taylor’s A Secular Age, the Christian intellectual sphere has reverberated with talk of disenchantment, a historical process that helped create the modern world. According to Taylor, the old enchanted realm was “the world of spirits, demons, moral forces

The God Who Arrives Unbidden
In the spring of 1768, Voltaire famously remarked in his work the Épître à l’Auteur du Livre des Trois Imposteurs that if God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him (Si Dieu n’existait pas, il faudrait l’inventer). Among those so inclined, this line is often quoted as one of the first modern confessions of atheism.

Building a Beautiful Theology of God
When Dr. Fesko chose the topic of the imagination to introduce to our church his new book, The Cathedral of Theology: Principles of Christian Dogmatics, I immediately knew I wanted to read it.

“Christianity Is Not Credible”
Suppose someone declares, “Christianity is not credible.” What do they mean and how should we respond to that claim? They probably mean that Christianity isn’t worthy of belief. They know there are lots of Christians, but their point is that there shouldn’t be because Christianity isn’t worthy of belief.
