January
Biblical World View Conference
2thepoint
Canberra: 15-21 Jan
Countless Christians - and especially Christian youth - are renouncing
their faith and are adopting the false humanistic philosophies of our
day....such as Darwinism, naturalism, relativism, postmodernism,
pluralism, and many others.
Christians have simply not been taught
how to develop a comprehensive Christian view of reality or an intelligent
biblical defence regarding the fundamental issues of our day.
Summit Ministries will be running our
second 5 day Australian Worldview Conference to help train Christian
students, teachers and professionals to understand and analyse the major
humanistic worldviews of our day, contrasting them with the Biblical
Christian worldview.
International and Australian speakers
include Dr David Noebel (USA), Dr Michael Bauman (USA) Dr Darrell Furgason
(CAN) Dr Stuart Robinson (AUS) Dr Andrew Snelling (AUS) Jim Wallace (AUS)
Dr Mark Durie (AUS).
