I began the Philosophy Out West speakers series in 2015. We will continue this spring with conversations on Christianity and Philosophy, Academic Skepticism, and Epistemology and Apologetics.

There might be many senses in which a critic will want to say ‘yes.’ He goes through these and specifically looks at the mission of the church and the elements of the Gospel. Has the Gospel been communicated?
