"God is Dead" and I Don't Feel So Good Myself--A Christian Response to the New Atheism

At 7 pm on Thurs Nov 3, in the Dunker Family Lounge at Renison University College (240 Westmount Rd N) at the University of Waterloo, Dr. Ron Kuipers, ICS professor of Philosophy of Religion and Jon Stanley, ICS PhD candidate in Theology, will be presenting a talk and leading a discussion, about how we, as Christians, can respond to the claim that God is dead, a claim being made by many prominent authors in Europe and North America.

The new atheism challenges Christians. Join us for a presentation and discussion on how faith can lead to dialogue rather than hostility between religious and secular people in our time.

Admission to this event is free. It is co-sponsored by Waterloo CRC and the campus ministry at the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University.
