Atheism, Agnosticism, and the Rise of Unbelief, A panel discussion

The Lanier Theological Library invited scholars and patrons to a free panel discussion on Friday, October 7, in our Stone Chapel. This panel discussion preceded the library's lecture by Mark Lanier.
.
Twenty years ago in the United States, surveys indicated that 94% of people believed in God. But recently, many more Americans claim to be agnostics, atheists, or “nones.” What does this rise of unbelief mean for America and the world? How and why is it changing so rapidly? Is America going to join the UK and Europe in having nearly empty churches on Sunday? We are gathering a unique group of experts to examine the questions and help us understand where America and other western countries are headed.

This 90-minute session on Friday featured a panel made up of these distinguished participants:

Darrell Bock (Executive Director of Cultural Engagement and Senior Research Professor of New Testament Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary, Dallas, TX)
Kristen Davis (Founder of DoubtLess Faith Ministries, Jacksonville, FL)
Craig Evans (John Bisango Distinguished Professor of Christian Origins, Houston Baptist University, Houston, TX)
Mark Lanier (J.D. Trial Attorney, Bible Teacher, Author, and Founder of Lanier Theological Library, Houston, TX)
Craig Parton (Trial Lawyer and Partner at Price Postel & Parma LLP, Santa Barbara, CA)
Charlie Styles (Chief Executive Officer, The Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics, Oxford, England)
