How Does the Bible Speak About God's Action in the World? (C. John "Jack" Collins)

The philosopher Alvin Plantinga recently wrote, “There is superficial conflict but deep concord between science and theistic religion, but superficial concord and deep conflict between science and naturalism.” Both Christianity and Judaism rely on Biblical passages to describe the way God acts in the world. This lecture develops an approach to reading these texts that is generally in line with Plantinga’s insight. A lecture given by C. John "Jack" Collins at English L'Abri on 30 June, 2017.
