TruthQuest: What the World Believes…and Why

(0)

In the upcoming class, What the World Believes…and Why, Willow Creek Community Church and Dr. Harold Netland offer participants a historical and current analysis of key doctrinal issues facing the major world views of our day. Netland, professor of Philosophy of Religion and Intercultural Studies at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, is a rich resource for those seeking answers to their toughest spiritual questions. 

 

TruthQuest is a quarterly event at Willow Creek's South Barrington campus. In its discussion-based format, intellectually and historically sound dialogue helps participants become well-informed about the Christian faith and other religious worldviews. 

“TruthQuest is a safe place where people can ask their toughest faith questions—and find satisfying answers,” says Andy Martin, TruthQuest director. “By far, the most-requested topic from participants is to learn about other worldviews, other religions. This month, with Dr. Netland’s expertise on the subject, we’ve got you covered.”

 

Since its inception in 1975, Willow Creek has been known as a safe place to ask dangerous questions–the kinds of faith questions that, when left unanswered, become roadblocks to one's spiritual journey. "Willow Creek welcomes healthy, open-minded dialogue with those exploring the complex issues of faith," says Paul Jansen Van Rensburg, director of Spiritual Discovery.

 

What the World Believes…and Why will be held at 7:30 p.m., Friday, July 30 at Willow Creek's South Barrington campus, located at 67 East Algonquin Road, South Barrington, IL. To register for this free class, go to willowcreek.org/classes.

 

  

Whose Gospel? Whose Bible?

(0)

On Friday, April 30, Willow Creek’s TruthQuest Coffeehouse, a forum for spiritual exploration, takes a heads-on approach to basic questions about Christianity: Why should we trust the Bible? Why does the Bible contain only four Gospel accounts (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) when there are other Gospels out there, like the Gospel of Thomas?

For those who want answers to these and other questions, or for those who need grounding on the truth and history of the Bible, TruthQuest has invited Dr. Nicholas Perrin to speak on April 30. Perrin is a professor at Wheaton College and author of several books including Lost in Transmission: What Can we Know about the Words of Jesus.

TruthQuest meets from 7:30-9 at the South Barrington Campus.  This event is free.
