In this five part series from Jan 3, 2010 to Feb 7, 2010, based on the book
The Sacred Cosmos: Christian Faith and the
Challenge of Naturalism by Terence L. Nichols, we
challenged the "new atheism," the "naturalistic" thinking that the
natural universe is "probably" all that there is, a world view responsible
for the widespread decline of Christianity in Europe and a half-hearted
faith among many Christians in America. Instead, we offered a persuasive
vision of a world of many-leveled richness, whose Creator is continually
active within its unfolding history.
Professor Nichols is a professor of
theology at the
University of St. Thomas here in St.
Paul.
The series was led by David Monyak.
