How and why should Christians care for the environment? And what might the Christian worldview have to say about issues like nuclear waste, electricity consumption, overpopulation or even how we landscape our yards? In connection with Earth Day, this series of videos brings together Biola University professors Craig Hazen, Garry DeWeese, John Bloom and Brent Ridley and alumnus David Pelser to discuss these and other important questions surrounding environmental ethics, the Bible and the role that Christians should play in creation care.
Clear Christian Thinking on the Most Troubling Bio-Ethical Issues.
Advances in medical procedures, technologies, and drugs have made issues of life and death more and more complicated. As Christians, because we care deeply about life and death issues, we are often tagged as people who are standing against progress and the relief of suffering. Hence, we need help from experts to understand what is really going on in modern medicine and how to make a persuasive case in the public square for the Biblical views. We are bringing in two world-class Christian experts on bioethics, Dr. Scott Rae and Scott Klusendorf, to help us understand and defend the biblical position on the most difficult subjects: abortion, euthanasia, reproductive technology, and more.
