The Great Debate: An Authentic Contemporary Faith
What elements of a traditional Christian faith can be carried forward as ingredients in an authentic contemporary faith. Elements of the old cosmology? A non-theistic diety? The Bible as Sacred Scripture? Life after death? Sin and guilt? Reward and punishment?
- Marcus J. Borg, Christian Fundamentals in a Time of Change and Conflict (DVD 90 minutes, CD 80 minutes)
- Don Cupitt, Beginning All Over Again (DVD 90 minutes, CD 80 minutes)
- Lloyd Geering, A Path of Faith to the Global Future (DVD 90 minutes, CD 80 minutes)

The Ecological Imperative: Religion and the Future of Life on Earth
The creation myth and, more recently,& intelligent design have retarded the acknowledgment of the ecological imperative. We have begun to see that humankind was included by God within the general evolutionary processes that formed Earth's life support systems. The future of human life depends on the health of these systems. How do we make this earth-centered vision the heart of a faith commensurate with the second axial age?
- Anne Primavesi, The Age of Ecology and the Future of Faith (75 minutes)
- Eugenie Scott, Evolution, Creationism, and Myths of Nature (75 minutes)
The Moral Imperative:Sources and Sanctions
The moral landscape has changed dramatically in the last half century. What new moral guidance is required for the second axial age?
- Richard Holloway, The Church Organist and the Jazz Pianist (DVD 90 minutes, CD 80 minutes)
The Crisis in the Roman Catholic Church
The crisis in American Roman Catholicism goes far deeper than the recent sex scandals and what they reveal about the church hierarchy. The real crisis is the abject failure of the post-Vatican II church -- bishops, priests, and laity -- to understand and appropriate the momentous revolution in scriptural studies that its own scholars have helped bring about over the last half-century.
- James Carroll, The Crisis in Catholicism: Why the Rescue of its Reform Matters (75 minutes)
Book Presentations
Wisdom Suitable for the Global Age
The Western world inaugurated what now appears to be a second axial age about four hundred years ago and we are even now entering the global age. What does this double transition portend for conventional wisdom?
- Karen Armstrong, Some Tips from the First Axial Age (DVD 90 minutes, CD 80 minutes)
- Robert W. Funk, An Enlightened Faith for an Enlightened Age (DVD 90 minutes, CD 80 minutes)
