Dr. Vern Sheridan Poythress returns to Christ the Center to discuss his latest book In the Beginning was the Word: Language: A God-Centered Approach to Language published by Crossway.  The panel discusses  Dr. Poythress’s multi-perspectival approach to Biblical studies and theology and specifically the trinitarian basis for language and the meaning of language.  Contrary to evolutionary theory, language is not merely a humanly constructed reality but is a gift from God.  The panel also considers the unique problems about how modernism and postmodernism view language

January 16th, 2009 by Camden Bucey

Science and faith are often pitted against each other.  Many have felt they must make a choice between either being a person of science or a person of faith.  Dr. Vern Poythress, Professor of New Testament at Westminster Theological Seminary and the author of Redeeming Science, joins the panel on Christ the Center to discuss the relationship between Christianity and science.  He argues that not only is science compatible with Christianity, but that the Triune God of the Bible is required in order for the very possibility of science to exist.  Listen to this broad-ranging discussion that touches upon science, mathematics, the creation days, and a Christian approach to education.
