Class Title: Curiosity and Questions - Jesus and Science
Class Description for 2020-21:
Using the Bible as well as resources from Harvard's Veritas Forum and John Lennox's new book, "2084: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humanity," we will explore how a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and our Reformed understanding of Christianity can be complementary rather than competitive with scientific perspectives. Offered virtually only (via Zoom) and taught by Dr. Wesley Fryer.
Since we are met virtually via Zoom in fall 2020 and spring 2021, we were able to record and share the LESSON portion of our classes each week. Recordings do NOT include our "table talk times" and "joys and concerns" times. An archive of our 2019-20 class recordings is also available.
