The DVD is not yet out but details are on the above site. Craig came to NZ last year. With a doctorate in religious philosophy and a NT Habilitationsschrift done under Pannenberg, he knows a thing or two, & faults Hitchens for being rhetorical rather than analytical. (Of course it's very pomo to be rhetorical rather than logical, but as I always say, I wouldn't want to fly on a plane whose design team was chosen principally on the grounds of their cultural diversity.)<br /><br />Do your students at Bishopsdale have to learn some apologetics? I believe bright congregations do respond to this stuff when it's presented engagingly. I know a lot of middle class educated Christians in the professions who are a bit tired of charismstic boosterism in sermons. The way to such people's hearts is often through their heads.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
