Eighty years ago, Lewis published his most highly regarded book, The Abolition of Man, in which he critiques the secularization of Western cultures and warns that, unchecked, the consequences for modern humanity are significant and destructive.
By comparing Lewis’s projections with modern cultural critiques, Dr. Lorenzini asks how a revived view of Lewis’s analysis might inform a modern apologetic. All are welcome to join us for this thought-provoking presentation.

The Old Testament constitutes the majority of the Christian Bible and provides much of the language of Christian faith. However, many churches tend to neglect this crucial part of Scripture. What should be done about it?
Dr. Brent Strawn will address the very question in a lecture, “The Old Testament is Dying and What You Can (and Should) Do About It,” at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 16, in Canyon Commons. Strawn is professor of Old Testament at Duke Divinity School and holds a secondary appointment at the Duke University School of Law in Durham, North Carolina.
Strawn is author of the book The Old Testament is Dying: A Diagnosis and Recommended Treatment, in which he details a number of ways the Old Testament is showing signs of decay, demise and imminent death in the church. He criticizes current misunderstandings that contribute to its neglect and offers ways to revitalize its use in the church. His words are a reminder of the Old Testament’s important role in Christian faith and practice.

Did you know the only two types of plastics recyclable in the U.S. per the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) are PET and HDPE?
“Recyclable” means that a “substantial majority” of U.S. residents (60%-plus) are near a recycling facility and that the collected product could be used in a new item. To make sure you caught that, 60% of consumers are near a recycling center, but that doesn’t mean 60% of plastic is recycled.
In the U.S., only 20.9% of PET plastics and 10.3% of HDPE plastics are actually recycled. A majority of the remaining plastics are incinerated (15.8%) and landfilled (75.5%). It might just be me, but a Wall-E earth isn’t appetizing. To have a reduction in plastics, we as consumers will need to reduce our plastic use and substitute other materials like paper and cardboard.
