Description

How can we develop and present Christian truth in a secular and pluralistic public square in a way which is both faithful and consistent with orthodox biblical theology and at the same time relevant and persuasive? This talk develops and illustrates three main lines of argumentation which can be employed in the public square: a) because it's true - Christian truth - claims match with reality, b) because it works - there is empirical evidence that Christian practice leads to positive social and health outcomes, c) because if feels right - Christian truth and practice match with the deepest intuitions of the human heart.
