Reasonable Faith Dallas Chapter Conference: On Guard
May 31st
For all those interested (Dallas Metroplex and beyond),
We have the opportunity to hold a large multi-day Christian Apologetics conference this coming fall at one of the largest churches in the Dallas area! This conference will feature some of the top defenders of the Christian faith in the world including Dr. William Lane Craig and Dr. J.P. Moreland. They will speak on the most important issues affecting Christianity today and the evidence for the truth of Christianity. They will be able to help:
• Equip Christians to understand and respond to the greatest challenges to Christianity today. • Equip Christians to know what they believe and why they believe it. • Equip Christians to be able to answer the most common objections to Christianity so they can boldly evangelize unbelievers. • Equip Christians to be able to make a positive case for why Christianity is true. • Equip Christians to boldly and courageously proclaim the Gospel in our post-Christian culture. • Provide an opportunity for Christians to bring non-believing family, friends, co-workers, etc. to hear the evidence for the truth of Christianity. • Reach out to all of the non-believers in the community and show them there are good reasons to place their faith in Jesus Christ. • And so on…
There will be a special presentation specifically for equipping youth in Christian Apologetics too! Many studies over the past 10 years show that 70% to 85% of youth are leaving the church once they go off to college – a major reason for this is intellectual skepticism…they don’t think that Christianity is true. We must equip our children in this vital area of our faith to combat this major problem.
I am looking for volunteers for this never before type event. I am looking for people to help in the following areas: 1. Folks that can help us generate interest in their churches and letting us know that we could count on their presence at the conference. 2. Help us make phone calls to different organizations inviting them to this event (Campus ministries for example). 3. Help us spreading the word through social networking sites 4. Handing out fliers 5. Conference volunteers as needed
If you are interested please contact me (David Mendez) at dmendez@gmail.com or message me via Facebook. Finally, please consider partnering with us to make this conference possible. If you would like to contribute to this effort then please contact Chris Shannon at chris@reasonablefaithdallas.org or 214/924-6103. Please make checks payable to “Denton Bible Church.” We greatly appreciate any amount that you can give. Every penny will go towards the conference and we are financially supporting this as well. Please pray for this! Please let me know if you have any questions.

[Translate]Laurier Press – Luther and Late Medieval Thomism
Dec 31st
Book Description
A careful analysis of Luther’s thought in the context of his age, this volume examines Luther’s links with later medieval Thomism. The study is organized on the theme of theological anthropology—the state of humans within a theological system. In the course of the discussion, Janz studies parallels and divergences between the thought of Luther and the thought of Thomas Aquinas, Peter Lombard, John Capreolus, Henry of Gorkum, Conrad Koellin, Karlstadt, and Cajetan. Janz suggests that at some crucial points late medieval Thomist teaching misrepresents the teaching of Thomas Aquinas. This, compounding Luther’s lack of direct knowledge of Thomas, helps to explain Luther’s opposition not only to his own nominalist teachers but to the scholastics generally.
Students of late medieval and Reformation theology will find the wealth of primary citation and the detailed readings of the sources invaluable guides to the issues. Students of religion interested in contemporary problems in theological anthropology, in the natural capacity of humanity for good and evil, for example, will find the historical Christian perspective of great interest. About Denis R. Janz
Denis Janz received the Ph.D. from the University of St. Michael’s College, Toronto, in historical theology. He teaches in the religious studies department of Loyola University, New Orleans and has published articles on late medieval and Reformation topics in various scholarly journals.
