God's View of Himself (5-7 weeks)  

How can God be both three and one? Can something have one essence but still have parts or is this semantic volleyball? What relationships exist among the members of the Godhead? Did the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit all die at Calvary? If the Godhead is one, how can Jesus be in one place while God the Father is in another place? This class examines the trinity from both historical and theological viewpoints, and gives an easy to understand analogy from science that helps one to think about triunity. We find that triunity is not unique to theology, and in fact most substances in nature display characteristics that are similar to the trinitarian Godhead. Based on the article M. J. Bozack, "Physics in the Theological Seminary" in Jour. Evang. Theol. Soc. 35 (1993) 65.

God's View of His Son (6-8 weeks)  

What really happened during the incarnation? If Jesus was really God, why did He have to learn carpentry from Joseph? Why did He need to eat and sleep? If he could read the mind of the Pharisees, why did Jesus need to ask directions? This seminar discusses the hypostatic union and what it means to be both divine and human. We show that dualism is the rule rather than the exception in nature and part of the very fabric of the universe. The God-man is not the problem. The real problem is our limited notion of what is divine and what is human.

God's View of Space and Time (8-10 weeks)  

How can God be in two or more places at the same time? How can God know the future? How can God see all of time with one glance? When Genesis refers to the days of creation, what span of time is meant and is this a relevant question in the first place? Is it possible for man to alter time? Is one second on Earth equal to one second in a faraway galaxy? What about space? Is the shortest distance between two points always a straight line? Could God be existing in a parallel universe that we can't see but yet exists all around us?

This seminar focuses on time and space as viewed from the advantage of modern physics. We use easy-to-understand illustrations from Einstein's theory of relativity to show that neither time nor space is absolute and discuss time travel, aging, and distances in the Universe. Implications for the Christian, theology, and the Genesis account are discussed.

 

God's View of Life (4-8 weeks)

What is truly important in life? Is there a best way to live? What are the secrets to a full and successful life? Is there any super street-smart person who can tell us how to thrive rather than merely survive? This seminar takes the audience on a visual odyssey through the book of Ecclesiastes. The verses of Ecclesiastes are illustrated by a series of provocative black and white photographs from contemporary society. The result is a powerful message about life as seen by the wisest man who ever lived.


God's View of Absolutes (4-6 weeks)

There are three inviolable limits in nature, where God in effect says NO FURTHER. The limits are not matters of improvements in instrumentation but rather limits which are intrinsic to nature and which scientists believe can never be surpassed. The limits are absolute zero, the speed of light, and the ability of microscopes to reveal smaller and smaller objects.

This seminar describes each limit in lay terms, why each limit cannot be exceeded, and the implications for Christians. What can we learn about God by such limits? Why would God construct the Universe in this way? Is He afraid of us discovering a modern tree of knowledge of good and evil?

God's View of the Universe (1-3 weeks)

Does the Universe have no end? Where are we located in the vast stellar abode? How do astronomers know that millions and millions of galaxies exist? How vast is space? Why would God create such a huge Universe and populate only a single planet called Earth? If life exists on other planets, how many Christs are there?

This topic consists of 40 extraordinary photographs taken by the world's best telescopes, orbiting instruments, and microscopes, which take you on a visual journey spanning millions of light years from the outer reaches of the Milky Way, into nearby star systems, the solar system, the Earth, and ending up in the human body where individual atoms are observed. The highlight is a real-time film of single atoms moving around on a surface and their one-by-one removal from the surface, perhaps the highest resolution footage ever shot and the ultimate in micro-surgical technique.

God's View of Christians as Salt and Light (3-8 weeks)  

When God left us here to be salt and light in the world, what did He mean? What is His perception of salt and light? Why did He use these words to describe Christians? What is it about salt and light that make them special?

This seminar considers the physical and chemical properties of salt and light, and shows why they are particularly appropriate words to describe the role of Christians living in the world. By learning about the properties of salt and light, new insights about our testimony and walk with Christ emerge.
