Younger Than That Now: Rediscovering Christian Faith for a New Millennium, by Robert Alden Rubin, Ph.D — As America and the world approach the 2,000-year anniversary of the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus, it’s a good time to take a fresh look at Christianity, the Bible, and the story of our faith for the 21st Century.
Join prize-winning poet and author Robert Alden Rubin in exploring how our ancient faith remains important in these tumultuous, troubling times, when doubt shadows beliefs and traditions that have guided people for two milennia, and everyone seems to be “spinning” or selling us something.
At a time when American church membership is plummeting, and when Christianity as we know it seems to have been taken over by ideologies and political factions that pit neighbor against neighbor and demand that believers deny science, common sense, and age-old wisdom, is it still possible for people of good will to follow the teachings of Jesus with love and integrity? Are Christian faith communities still relevant? Can Christians answer atheists, skeptics, and cynics without shutting their eyes and denying the realities of a modern, technological, multicultural society?
Yes! Dr. Rubin replies. What do you say? Come read and discuss the ideas he’s developing about how faith remains relevant to our lives today.
