Review and Anticipation

We have no class on January 5th.

We will meet our next time on Tuesday, January 12th to look at Theme 3: Part 2 Asking How God Can Be Both Just and Loving

In thinking back to 3.1 I recommend that you do a little extra reading on the connection between Genesis and some of the other ANE cosmogonies.

An interesting presentation on Ancient Near Eastern Cosmogonies and its relation to Biblical creationism is found here,

and here

In looking forward to 3.2, I recommend that you read the pertinent chapter in Tim Keller's *The Reason for God.* Good stuff.

See you soon!

Good discussion Tuesday night. Please remember that the next Tuesday will be our Great Books Club where we look at G. K. Chesterton's classic work *Orthodoxy.*

Inasmuch as we talked about God's love, his justice and the difficulty of assessing the connection between affliction and his judgement, you might find this clip regarding a recent statement by Pat Robertson pertinent.
