SUMMARY:Carl Trueman & Mary Eberstadt Discuss "The Desecration of Man"
DESCRIPTION:Join us as the CIC’s Panula Chair in Christian Culture Mary Eberstadt welcomes and interviews Carl R. Trueman for the launch of his new book\, The Desecration of Man: How the Rejection of God Degrades Our Humanity. Mr. Trueman will begin the evening by outlining his book’s concepts followed by an interview with Mrs. Eberstadt. \nThis program will be offered both in-person and virtually through a YouTube livestream. The Desecration of Man will be available for purchase at the CIC’s bookstore. \n4/7 Schedule:  \n\n6:15 PM: CIC doors open for registrant check-in\n6:30 PM: Presentation\, which will be livestreamed (we will also take some time for audience Q&A)\n7:30 PM: Booksigning with our speakers and a light happy hour\n8:30 PM: Evening concludes\n\nAbout the Book:\nAs church attendance falls\, suicide rates climb\, and birth rates plummet\, Christian pundits have suggested disenchantment and the loss of tradition are to blame for our spiritual malaise. But what if the problem is both much simpler and much more serious? \nIn The Desecration of Man\, Carl Trueman argues that modern man’s crisis of meaning stems from a rejection of a simple fact—that he was made in the image of God. Unmoored from the basic moral fact that secures human dignity\, we violently disrespect our own minds and bodies through abortion\, pornography\, casual sex\, gender transitions\, and more—and in this disrespect we blaspheme against God himself\, with devastating practical and spiritual consequences. \nWith gentle pastoral wisdom\, deep insight into church history\, and an impressive command of philosophical genealogies\, The Desecration of Man speaks to those troubled by the spiritual sickness of our time and points toward consecration to a God who is alive and loving as a solution. The Early Church triumphed over Rome because it offered life in place of death. It is time for modern Christians to offer the same kind of vision.

SUMMARY:The Shroud of Turin in the Third Millennium?
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join us on April 24 at 3:00 PM EDT as Dr. Cheryl White presents her latest book\, and explores how the Shroud of Turin blends historical\, scientific\, philosophical\, and theological inquiry to challenge assumptions about what we can truly know regarding the artifact’s origin\, significance\, and meaning. \nRSVP to join us in-person or virtually through the livestream. \nThe Shroud of Turin in the Third Millennium? will be available to purchase at the CIC’s bookstore. \n\n\n“The Shroud of Turin is an artifact unlike any other that presents numerous philosophical challenges to what we can know and how we can know it. This book explores the Shroud in a way unlike any other work – for it invites the inquirer to contemplate not only the image on the Shroud\, but how we can come to certainty of knowledge and what that knowledge might mean. Starting from a simple length of linen\, Cheryl White explores where archaeological enigma\, philosophical inquiry\, and theological mystery meet. Shunning sensationalism\, her book refuses to take sides for or against the Shroud of Turin’s authenticity. White challenges our assumptions: the naïve trust in pre-packaged scientific verdicts—radiocarbon dating among them—as well as the temptation to proclaim an ultimate proof of the Resurrection. With clarity and humility\, she invites us to contemplate the truth the Shroud of Turin reflects—a mirror of the Gospel.”\n\n-Tristan Casabianca\, Shroud of Turin Scholar and Researcher \n\n___________________ \n\n\n“Like an impartial umpire\, Dr. White fairly assesses various indirect references from the past and takes us to school on how the historical method really works. She applies the same objective analysis to the vast amount of scientific investigation and what science reveals or fails to reveal. The reader will be enlightened by learning things not previously known or understood\, humbled by the objective challenge of our own suppositions\, and yet more enthralled than ever with the mystery\, meaning and message of the Shroud and what it portends for the future.” \n\n-Russ Breault\, President of Shroud of Turin Education Project\, Inc. and Author of “Shroud Encounter”\n\n___________________ \n\n“Dr. White\, in a book unlike any other on the Shroud\, masterly provides unique insights into historical\, theological\, scientific and epistemological aspects of the intriguing mystery of the Shroud of Turin\, a cloth with profound implications for faith\, reason\, and science. This book needs to be in the collection of any serious researcher of the Shroud.”\n\n– Joe Marino\, President of Shroud of Turin Education and Research Association\n___________________\nApril 24th Schedule: \n\n2:45 PM Check-in\n3:00 PM Book talk by Dr. Cheryl White\n4:00 PM Booksigning and coffee social\n4:30 PM Event concludes
