"Christians, Politics, and the Public Square" Dr. Francis Beckwith, with philosopher and legal theorist February 25, 2008

Dr. Beckwith will deliver an address entitled “Christians, Politics, and the Public Square,” discussing the biblical basis for Christian participation in politics, as well as three challenges posed by contemporary critics of Christian influence on public policy. The lecture will take place Monday, February 25, 7:30 p.m. in the dining room of the Johnson Center. The lecture is free and open to the public.


Tuesday, February 26, Dr. Beckwith will deliver an address entitled “Personhood and the Debate over Abortion” addressing some arguments from his new book, Defending Life (Cambridge University Press, 2007). In it, he critiques the works of Peter Singer, David Boonin, and Dean Stretton, all of whom argue that the unborn is a human being but not a person (and thus is not a “rights bearing” entity). The lecture will take place at 7:30 p.m. in the dining room of the Johnson Center, is free, and open to the public.
