Description

In Deuteronomy, the Lord Jesus calls us to love God with every aspect of our beings, including our minds. If we neglect the mind, the result is unreflective activism and unthinking experientialism. But the mind isn't the sum total of a person, either, and so apologetics can't just mean winning arguments. To be effective apologists who lovingly persuade others of the truth, we need to love God and others with both our minds and every other aspect of our being. In this talk, we explore what that means as we work towards a biblical understanding of the role of reason in faith and persuasion in evangelism. This talk is jointly led by John Kirkpatrick and Paul Coulter.
