The Core of Theology in the Seduction of Culture
Using the analogy of a solar system, we examine the difference between what is essential and what is secondary in our doctrine. We see how and why Neo-Evangelicalism gave us a parachurch and culture war without a worldview behind them, and that the task of thinking Christians is not to obsess over cultural relevance, but to reassert the Idea of the University over the humanities and social sciences.

Colossians 1:24-2:5
Paul describes his ministry, to the church at Colosse, as being a servant to the church tasked with proclaiming Jesus. In Jesus, the mystery of God's redemptive plan is completely revealed, and fulfilled. Furthermore, the pathway to Christain maturity is found in nothing, and no one, else but Jesus.

How Do We Know That We Know?
This first class looking at our philosophical foundations introduces Epistemology, which is the part of philosophy that studies human knowledge and establishes objective standards for knowing whether something is really true or not. We examine the basic laws of logic and apply them to the most basic questions we could ever ask. The upshot of this first class is our Fundamental Principle of Thinking: The rational precedes the empirical, or, put another way, a thing has to be possible before it is actual.
