· 7:30 PM — Session 1. Common Grace and Antithesis
    • Humans were created in the image of God, made to love and serve the only true God, but in the Fall we now—by nature, outside of Christ—suppress the truth in unrighteousness and are antithetical toward God. Though someone in rebellion may even embrace antitheism, he or she remains God’s creature, utterly dependent on God, not only for salvation, but also for all thought and life. In fact, humans presuppose God  even in denying Him, and thus, they presuppose Him in everything.
Saturday—October 7, 2017
· 8:00 AM — Registration
· 8:30 AM — Session 2. The Myth of Neutrality
    • After the Fall, apart from God’s grace, all humans will judge things through the jaundiced eye of unbelief and will decide against God. Fallen humans are not neutral; rather, they have a perspective that colors all their judgments. This explains why merely a direct appeal to evidence after the Fall is futile, since we all read the world according to some worldview—either through the eyes of faith or unbelief. Thus we may make only an indirect appeal to the evidence, properly contextualized within a Christian worldview.
· 9:30 AM — [Break]
· 9:50 AM — Session 3. The Problem of Evil
    • Many objections arise to the Christian faith and a most prominent one through the centuries has been the problem of evil: how can there be, given the reality of evil in the world, a God who is all good and all powerful? Would not such a God forbid evil? So how do we account for evil if the God of the Bible exists? Here we will endeavor to see this question (and others) from the perspective of the non-Christian and the Christian, seeing that the Christian worldview provides the consistent answer over against unbelief.
