Modern Spirituality

Atheists are launching a new wave of attacks against Christianity and faith in God. It's hard to know how to handle their claims that they have a more enlightened, scientific, and sophisticated worldview. How can you respond with precision to arguments against your faith? With instructive clarity, Dr. Louis Markos confronts the modern-day atheists' claims that new evidence disproves the existence of God. In fact, you will find that the "proof" they peddle is not new at all. Rather, they recycle claims that have already been disproven by Christian thinkers of the past.

Narrator John McDonough's presentation of the spiritual and the secular elements that led to religious reform will captivate listeners.

Have we minimized the message of the cross in an attempt to seem more relevant to an increasingly modern world? Instead of conforming to the image of Christ, have we tried to conform Christ to agree with our image, our lifestyle, and our culture? How does our understanding of truth and love affect our view of the Lord and ourselves? Does our life ultimately line up with the scripture? Do the ways we do our church line up with what Jesus had in mind when he established the church? Do we set the margins for how we live by the climate of our culture or from the scriptures?

Transformed by the Spirit is a culmination of seven and a half years of formal study in Spiritual Formation and Theology between my undergraduate and graduate work at Multnomah University and Seminary School. The main issue that Transformed by the Spirit addresses is the need for us, as Christians, to develop our relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, through the various spiritual disciplines and through the power of the Holy Spirit.

C2, Zondervan, and World Vision are teaming together on the most ambitious and ecumenical curriculum promoting Christian social responsibility and justice ever conceived.
