The Crown of Creation: Humanity and the Image of God | Roundtable Discus...

How do we understand humanity as the “crown of creation” and as being made in the image of God?  How is biblical Christianity’s understanding of this different from other concepts and world religions?

Theo Global’s Adam Smith sat down with Dr. Talant Aktanzhanov (Kazakhstan), Dr. Julian Gutierrez (Colombia/USA), and Dr. Michael Horton (USA) to discuss the contours of what it means to be human in light of biblical teaching, and in contrast to alternate views and concepts.

A Conversation with Malcolm Guite : The Theology Pugcast Episode 337

This week, the Pugsters are excited to welcome poet, priest, and theologian Malcolm Guite to the show. Chris leads off the conversation with Mariner, Guite’s biography of Samuel Taylor Coleridge which uniquely among studies of Coleridge brings out the importance of his return to Trinitarian Christianity to his life. The conversation uses Coleridge’s life and work as a jumping off point to move on to other topics, including Lewis’s concept of joy and the nature and importance of imagination. It’s a fascinating discussion with a fascinating individual, and we think you’ll find it as stimulating as we did.

Easter is not absurd. Without it, everything else would be absurd. In this video Glen Scrivener gives you four reasons that you can believe in the resurrection — in fact he'll show you four reasons you already believe in life-from-the-dead. Referencing everything from Star Wars to psychology, from cosmic fine tuning to consciousness, Glen shows how the resurrection is not unbelievable. It's the explanation for our world.
