God's Character

Ralph D. Winter Lectureship

Pastor, theologian and author, Greg Boyd will be in Pasadena for a 2 day conference, April 25 and 26. The theme of this conference is the problem of evil: "Is God to Blame? Moving Beyond Simple Answers to the Problem of Evil." Greg Boyd has been one of the most influential individuals for us in terms of shaping our picture of God and appreciating that God's Kingdom looks nothing like any kingdom of this world. Greg's book, The Myth of a Christian Nation was a real paradigm shift for us. We also had the pleasure of meeting Greg at the 2009 Good News Tour conference. This conference is sponsored by the Roberta Winter Institute (RWI). For the last year we have enjoyed getting to know the Director of the RWI, Brian Lowther, as well as Beth Snodderly, President of the William Carey International University. Brian and Beth have been out to Loma Linda a number of times because they share our conviction about the Cosmic Conflict and the explanatory power this has for understanding our world. Seating for this event is limited and registration is required. For more information and to register: Click Here.

Free Bible Version

For years, Jonathan Gallagher has been working on a new and freely available translation of the New Testament from the Greek. This is a much needed project - a New Testament that openly allows for free copying, downloading and distributing with no limits, provided the source is given and no change is made to the text. This translation is also available through e-Sword! We recently received two copies of this translation and have appreciated the clarity and straightforward style. For more information, go to Jonathan's website: www.freebibleversion.org.
