Myron Penner - “Philosophy, Wisdom, and a Gospel of Peace”
Sermon Recording: Download
TOPIC
Dr. Myron A. Penner (Ph.D., Professor of Philosophy at Trinity Western University and Director of the Humanitas Anabaptist-Mennonite Centre for Faith and Learning) told two stories about breaking up with religion. Early Western philosophers used Reason to critique the belief system based on the epic poems of the Greek pantheon. Jesus challenged the forms of Judaism that were ignoring the poor by reading Isaiah 61 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour at the start of his ministry. A theological method called the Wesleyan Quadrilateral suggests that truth can be found through a combination of Scripture, Tradition, Reason and Experience. How can we best share the gospel of peace and reconciliation—a message of good news to the disadvantaged and oppressed? [KH]
