Logs and Specks: Culture Wars and the Imperative of Christian Self-Examination from Regent Audio on Vimeo.
Many critics of contemporary Western cultures have recently discussed the phenomenon of "negative polarization," in which what binds one faction of the culture wars together is their shared hatred and fear of the other side more than their shared allegiance to a positive ideal. In this lecture, Wesley Hill will explore Jesus' injunctions to self-examination in the Gospels and other New Testament texts that counsel believers to consider their own sins to be of more importance than those of their neighbors or enemies. Along the way, he will share practical strategies that believers might adopt so as to become "unreliable allies," as Karl Barth put it, to any and all secular ideologies.
