On Tuesday, February 27, Dr. Kevin Sharpe, Associate Professor of Philosophy and Director of Religious Studies at St. Cloud State University, MN, delivered his talk titled:
“Can a materialist believe in the
incarnation?”
The talk was well attended, and Dr. Sharpe skillfully explained the major issues involved in making sense of a materialist view of humanity in conjunction with a Christian picture of the incarnation.
Students and faculty were challenged to evaluate some difficult metaphysical scenarios. One of the highlights of the afternoon was Dr. Sharpe's challenge to himself, which was to address two of the more complex objections against his view [click link below]:
After the talk, there was a lively and in-depth Q&A session. All in all, the talk was a success, and gave our students a different way to think about matters concerning the Incarnation.
Thank you again to Dr. Sharpe for his time and commitment!
