The Glory of Kings:
Finding God Through Philosophy
Larry Hunt, McInteer 233
The recent work of popular atheists/agnostics such as
Richard Dawkins, Lawrence Krauss, Stephen Hawking
and Neil deGrasse Tyson rests, ultimately, not on
scientific but philosophical assumptions. This session
will critique the most fundamental of these assumptions
and attempt to demonstrate why God will always be the
best explanation forthe existence of the natural world.
The Parable of the Unjust Judge
Machona Monyamane, McInteer 230
In this class we will be exposing the secret Christ is
intending for the original audience and understanding
the implications of the parable for us today.
