Aug 31, 2015: Issues of Our Time

Robert E. Webber

Our era has affinities with the Roman era. The issues we must deal with today include widespread war, the breakdown of morality, and pluralism of philosophy and religion (especially Gnosticism). Just as the fathers interacted with powers and principalities of their time, so also we must interact with the powers and principalities of our time. In order to confront the powers of our day, we would do well to recover the ancient framework of Scripture and restore the emphasis on Christus Victor.
