Q: Genesis and Human Origins

Rev. Taylor Rollo , associate pastor of Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church, will provide some comments and reflections on the lecture by John Walton ( watch it here ) and lead a discussion for exploring the truth of Scripture and it's relationship with scientific inquiry.

Q: The Lost World of Adam and Eve

For centuries the story of Adam and Eve has resonated richly through the corridors of art, literature and theology. Who were the historical Adam and Eve? Old Testament professor John Walton explores the ancient Near Eastern context of Genesis 2–3, creating space for a faithful reading of Scripture along with full engagement with science for a unique perspective in the human origins debate.

Q: Why is John Mayer Worried about Gravity? (Sweet Tea and Theology)

What lies behind the appeal of John Mayer's honesty regarding his personal feelings ("these days, I wish I was six again"), sense of disorientation ("something's missing, and I don't know how to fix it") , aspiration to greatness ("some day I'll fly"), and recognition of personal smallness ("gravity, keeps workin' against me")? What does his popularity reveal about us - about life and American society in the early 21st century? Talk by Dr Dean Bork , retired Professor at Virginia Tech, with Q&A to follow. “Sweet Tea and Theology” is a series of lectures and discussions offered by the Bradley Study Center to explore important questions and hold meaningful, relevant conversations across differences, in light of the Christian faith. Open to the Public, with refreshments served (including sweet tea).

Q: Lyric Theology: The Arts and the Doctrine of Creation (Sweet Tea and Theology)

God created the world out of nothing save the desire to communicate himself to us in love. In this talk by VT English Professor Tom Gardner, we will look at the way contemporary poets, novelists, and filmmakers explore theological ideas from the inside, unfolding, for example, the lived-out implications of such theological ideas as the doctrine of creation. The arts can help open us up fully to the beauty and terror and strangeness of the world, seeing it as a theater of divine glory. We'll look briefly at Terrence Malick's great film The Tree of Life (2011) as an example of this. Talk by Dr Tom Gardner is Alumni Distinguished Professor of English at Virginia Tech, with Q&A to follow. “Sweet Tea and Theology” is a series of lectures and discussions offered by the Bradley Study Center to explore important questions and hold meaningful, relevant conversations across differences, in light of the Christian faith. Open to the Public, with refreshments served (including sweet tea).
