Apologetics were once an art practiced by all theological scholars. Our new Professor of Divinity is a master of the form and here he explains their purpose: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/professors-and-speakers/professor-alister-mcgrath Part defence of Faith, part engagement with criticism of belief, apologetics have a rich history as a vital part of Theology. Professor Alister McGrath explains why this expression of faith is experiencing a resurgence, and why it must be a vital part of the modern Church. Alister McGrath is the Gresham Professor of Divinity, the Andreos Idreos Professor of Science and Religion at the University of Oxford, and one of the world's most respected theologians. http://www.gresham.ac.uk/professors-and-speakers/professor-alister-mcgrath Professor McGrath's inaugural series of six lectures discusses the "interweaving of narratives" between science and faith and how this can enrich our vision of reality. The lectures will engage topics that are of wide cultural interest at the interface of religion and science, with both a strong theological focus on the one hand, and a deep commitment to engaging issues of current debate and discussion on the other. The Series will be called 'Science, Faith, and God: The Big Questions': http://www.gresham.ac.uk/science-faith-and-god-the-big-questions Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website. There are currently over 1,800 lectures free to access or download from the website.
