AS Distinguished Speaker Lectures

Oct 30, 2008 at 06:00 PM

The Distinguished Speaker Lecture Series for Christianity and Culture is held each semester as part of the Dept of Religious & Academic Relations. The purpose of the lecture series is to engage students in thinking about their faith as it relates to issues in their culture. These lectures encourage students’ academic involvement in topics of the culture and society that are influenced by the Christian worldview. This semester, we are proud to announce that our lecturer will be Francis J. Beckwith. Dr.Beckwith is Professor of Philosophy & Church-State Studies at Baylor University. He teaches in the departments of philosophy and political science as well as the J. M. Dawson Institute of Church-State Studies, where he served as its Associate Director from July 2003 until January 2007. He is also a Fellow and Faculty Affiliate in Baylor’s Institute for Studies of Religion (ISR). In 2008-09 he will serve on the faculty of the University of Notre Dame as the Mary Ann Remick Senior Visiting Fellow in Notre Dame’s Center for Ethics & Culture. Join us October 30th, at 6:00 p.m. in Calvary Chapel, chapel credit will be given.
