Teaching for today

"The one through whom all things were made, by whom and for whom all things exist." Lesslie Newbigin addresses the important subject of Christ's uniqueness and Lordship over all.

Harry Blamires continues the series, now looking at the effect in modern culture of abandoning God's rule.

Harry Blamires has been involved for decades in what he calls the "double campaign" of Christian apologetics: (1) expounding & defending the Christian faith and (2) demythologising contemporary secularism. In this opening lecture of a series of three, he explains that Christianity and Secularism are fundamentally opposed.

In his concluding lecture, Harry Blamires seeks to offer his encouragement to Christians as they respond and oppose secularist thinking. He especially focuses on the increasingly liberal approach to academia. At the end of this lecture he answers questions and comments on the series as a whole.

If love is the fulfulment of the law, then do Christians still need the law? If we should obey God's law, which laws in the Old Testament are still binding on Christians?

The great Scottish Covenanter and brilliant university teacher, Samuel Rutherford, was born into an age when the king answered to no-one - 'The king is law' (Rex Lex). But Rutherford believed the opposite. He wrote a book called 'Lex Rex', translated as 'The law is king'. The notion that the monarch was subject to a greater authority - God - was so radical that, had he not first died of illness, Rutherford's courageous stand would have seen him martyred for treason.
