Description
In this evening public lecture, Dr. Richard Longenecker points out the contradiction of the worldviews in their assertion of human dignity and freedom ends up renouncing it by its fruit of deep pessimism and commoditizing of the human person. He then points to the Good News of the biblical story that affirms the dignity and freedom of the human person demonstrated in its creation and redemption narrative.
