I'm Speaking At Acton Univeristy This Week

Acton University
June 12-15, 2007
Grand Rapids, Michigan

Acton University is a unique, four-day exploration of the intellectual foundations of a free society. Guided by a distinguished, international faculty, Acton University is an opportunity to deepen your knowledge and integrate rigorous philosophy, Christian theology and sound economics.

My Lectures:

(1) The New Deal and the Great Society: Moral and Economic Failure--Presidents Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson established massive government programs intended to help the most vulnerable in American society. This lecture examines these programs, from the standpoint of Christian ethics and the work of Thomas Sowell in terms of their failure to produce their desired ends and delivering a "raw" deal for America's poor. Special attention will be paid to process-oriented vs. result-oriented social programming.

(2) Evangelical Social Thought: Justice Grounded in Love--The lecture introduces the biblical and theological foundations of Evangelical social and economic thought grounded in the love of God and neighbor conjoined with the doctrine of creation. The goal and motive of the Christian life will guide this discussion of justice with its implications for contemporary issues.
