Set I: Reasons for Faith
Is belief in God, the Jesus is the Son of God, or the Bible the Word of God an irrational leap in the dark as many non-believers maintain? Or is there enough evidence to make faith a leap into the direction set by the light? The five lectures in this set provide some of the classic arguments to address these questions.

Lecture Two - Does God Exist? The Argument from Desire: Can We Know God Exists by Looking Within?

Set II: Objections to Faith
Many objections to faith, new and old, circulate in our culture. What are some of the most crucial issues to face? Was Jesus married? Are the Gnostic Gospels to be taken seriously? Was Jesus’ Deity invented? Why is there so much evil? Is Christ the only way? Is belief in God a fantasy? How can we speak about our faith in this culture? The five lectures in this set address these important questions.
Lecture One - Authority of Scripture: Who is the Real Jesus?

Atheism is experiencing something of a resurgence today and is aggressively attacking Christian faith in the Western world. In these lectures we draw significantly on the thinking of C.S. Lewis, one of the most famous converts from atheism to Christianity. Some of the enduring insights that led him from atheism to faith will provide help in responding to the new atheists of our day.

I've been spending more time in prayer lately, feeling convicted that I need to be listening more and being more open to what God is doing and wants to do in my life.

"There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them."
Founded in 1976 in the legacy of C. S. Lewis, the Institute endeavors to develop disciples who can articulate, defend, and live faith in Christ through personal and public living.
