We modern evangelicals often feel small and without influence in the public square. We must recapture our intellectual heritage if we are to present to our brothers and sisters, our children, and post-Christian culture a version of Christianity rich and deep enough to challenge the dehumanizing structures and habits of thought of a society gone mad." b.) Discussion on the empty self.Continue reading Moreland, pp. 99-117; Be prepared to discussa.) Discuss the quote by Moreland: “the empty self is a general foe of the Christian mind. But two specific thieves rob many people of the fruitfulness and flourishing that is part of a developing Christian intellectual life.” b.) Discuss “the odd bedfellows of inferiority and pride.” c.) Discuss “keeping a sense of control.”Read Moreland, pp. 119-141Continue reading Moreland, pp. 119-141; be prepared to discuss
