Join me this evening at 5 pm central on YouTube for the introductory lecture to the “Examining The Christian Faith” series, Introduction To The Power of Ideas. In this lecture, we will examine what it means to say one believes in something, such as ideas or religions. We will begin by looking at the concept of interpretation and that of traditionalism and progressivism.
From there, we will see how our perception changes how we interpret ideas and reality and how, in a reciprocal manner, ideas can shape our perception. This will be examined through the work of Iain Mcgilchrist’s dual hemisphere perception.
Following this examination, we will then go on to investigate some of the popular ideas that have influenced modern culture from the works of figures such as Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, Carl Jung, and, of course, Jesus Christ and the apostles. We also take a look at what type of influence their ideas had on society and culture, whether positive or negative.
