Webinar #175 Dr Benjamin Chang - Apologetics in a Post-Truth World
from ICMDA Recordings · host ICMDA
Recorded on 16 November 2023 for ICMDA Webinars. Howard Lyons chairs a webinar with Dr Ben Chang. The last few decades have seen the influence of postmodernism sweep the Western World. Today, evidence and reason are trumped by personal convictions and people’s “lived experience”. Fake news stories consistently travel faster and wider than true news stories online. And traditional authority figures are often viewed with automatic suspicion. How can Christians engage with apologetics and defending our faith, when our post-truth culture no longer submits to the authority of reason and evidence? Do we now need a new kind of “postmodern apologetics”? Dr Ben Chang is a writer, speaker and Emergency Medicine registrar working in London. He is the author of the new book “Christ and the Culture Wars- Speaking for Jesus in a World of Identity Politics” (published by Christian Focus Publications), and speaks regularly at conferences, churches and universities.
