‘A Christian Account of the Sexes in Conversation’ Course
Today is the last day my forthcoming Davenant Hall ‘A Christian Account of the Sexes in Conversation’ course is open for (late) registration. If you are interested in taking the course, you need to act now!
Within the course we will be developing a Christian account of man and woman, in conversation with an array of diverse texts and interlocutors from several different fields and realms of enquiry, both academic and popular—philosophy, biology, the social sciences, etc.
The course follows on from previous courses I’ve taught on ‘A Biblical Theology of the Sexes’ and ‘Man and Woman in Modernity’, while also standing alone. Its goal is to show how a Christian account of the sexes can enter into receptive yet principled dialogue with other fields.
The course runs for ten weeks of two-hour classes and is open to auditors. Videos of each class will be made available to every student who signs up, but are exclusive to them. If you don’t sign up for the class, you miss the opportunity!

Replay: Re-centering Our Hope with Dr. Michael Allen – That’ll Preach
Original Date: December 20, 2022
Much of the anxiety we experience in life stems from misplaced hope. Dr. Michael Allen helps re-establish the historic and biblical concept of "heavenly-mindedness" without neglecting love for neighbor. He also provides practical ways in which Christians can cultivate heavenly-mindedness in a culture that emphasizes the here and now.
