Amazing Grace: The Lives of Children and the Conscience of a Nation |
Kozol, Jonathan |
1/22/1997 |
Jonathan Kozol has spent much of his life talking and listening to children and giving voice to their struggles and hardships through his writing. His first book, Death at
an Early Age, a description of his fourth-grade teaching experience in a segregated Boston classroom, was published in 1967 and received the National Book Award in Science, Philosophy, and Religion. In his latest book, Amazing Grace: The Lives of Children
and the Conscience of a Nation, Dr. Kozol writes with compelling sensitivity about the children and their families who live in the South Bronx, the poorest congressional district of our nation, and how they find the strength to prevail in the face of vio
lence, poverty, and racial isolation. [Close-Captioned] |

Voyage of the Diligent, The |
Harms, Robert |
1/17/2000 |
The 15-month voyage of the slave ship "The Diligent" from France to West Africa and then to the Caribbean is described in a journal kept by the ship's 26-year-old
First Lieutenant. In studying this journal and related materials, Robert Harms, Professor of History at Yale University, deals not only with the Americas as recipient of slaves but also with Africa as the supplier. He further explains justification among
Europeans in the buying and selling of people because of the indispensable need for their services in the cultivation of sugar, tobacco, indigo and other crops. Using slides of maps, drawings and documents, Dr. Harms explores the ideas, practices and pers
onalities that animated the slave trade and shaped the emerging Atlantic world in the 18th century. |

Under the direction of Dr. Robert Hubbard, professor of Communication Arts and Sciences, Calvin students produced a community drama centered around the identity of Calvin Co
llege, both as an institution and as a community. Incoporating such texts as oral history, poetry, memoirs, speeches, journalistic accounts, and music, this original production serves as a living and lasting expression of Christian Reformed tradition and
the story of Calvin College within this tradition. |

Jefferson's Legacy: A Call to Civic Responsibility |
Rimel, Rebecca |
1/24/2000 |
In 1948, when The Pew Charitable Trusts was established, grantmaking was closer to a personal act of charity. Today's world has greater needs, tougher problems and more comp
etition for resources. Grantmaking, accordingly, is closer to a strategic investment with the return measured not in profits, but in long-lasting, positive and powerful results. One result the Trust seeks is the greater engagement of Americans in the civi
c process of democracy. Rebecca Rimel is president and chief executive officer for The Pew Charitable Trusts. The Trusts, with more than $4.7 billion in assets, invested more than $213 million in 298 nonprofit organizations in 1998. |

Death: Enemy or Friend? |
Meilaender, Gilbert |
1/20/2000 |
Since for humans to have life means to know that death is inevitable, learning how to die is a lesson we all must learn. In this endeavor our culture gives us conflicting si
gnals about our dying. On the one hand, death is understood to be an enemy of our control over our fate, and is, therefore, an indignity; and on the other hand, death is understood as a natural part of life, a friend whose coming we should embrace. This p
resentation deals with the tension between death as friend and death as foe from the perspectives of the narratives of dying patients, providing insights on learning to "die well." Dr. Meilaender holds the Board of Directors Chair in Christian E
thics at Valparaiso University. He is an Associate Editor of the Journal of Religious Ethics. |

Balkans: Tragedy in Perspective |
Meyer, Steven |
1/19/2000 |
Since the collapse of Yugoslavia in 1992, tragedy has plagued the Balkans. Ethnic hatred and the violence it produces are the most deadly forces at work in this part of Euro
pe today. But this has not always been so. Misunderstanding of Balkan ethnicity exacerbates the tragedy and prevents us from playing a truly positive role in that melancholy land. Dr. Meyer addresses our inability to cope with the fact that the forces dri
ving the post-Cold War world are fundamentally different from those that drove the Cold War. Dr. Meyer is with the Central Intelligence Agency. As part of that role he is a professor at National Defense University, Industrial College of the Armed Forces i
n Washington, D.C. |

Faith and Science |
Plantinga, Alvin |
1/18/2000 |
While modern empirical science arose within the bosom of the Christian faith, the relationship between Christianity and science has been marked by as much conflict as concor
d. At times, what is proposed as serious science seems to be flatly inconsistent with the Christian faith. This lecture looks into this type of conflict and Dr. Plantinga argues that typically these conflicts ought not to occasion fear and trepidation on
the part of Christians. Dr. Plantinga is a founding member of the Society of Christian Philosophers. He taught philosophy at Calvin College for 19 years. In 1982, he was appointed to the John O'Brien Professor of Philosophy and Director for Philosophy of
Religion at the University of Notre Dame. |

Music of God and the God of Music, The |
Begbie, Jeremy |
1/14/2000 |
What has music to do with God? Why do so many people turn to music for "spiritual" refreshment, using music from New Age to trip-hop to medieval chant? This presen
tation explores some of the ways in which music works in our lives and offers reasons why music so often brings people closer to God. Slides, recorded music and demonstrations at the piano assist in answering the question of what music has to do with God.
Jeremy Begbie is a widely published author, a noted performer of Mozart and is Vice Principal of Ridley Hall, Cambridge, England, and Lecturer of the Faculty of Divinity, Cambridge University. |

Dietrich Bonhoeffer On Lying - Reflections on America |

1/15/2003 |
Described as "contemporary theology’s foremost intellectual provocateur," Stanley Hauerwas, Gilbert T. Rowe Professor of Theological Ethics at the Divinity S
chool of Duke University, has been named America’s Best Theologian by Time Magazine. The intent of his work is to show in what way theological convictions make no sense unless they are actually embodied in our lives. Referring to the work of Dietric
h Bonhoeffer, who wrote that “it is worse for a liar to tell the truth than for a lover of truth to lie, Hauerwas will reflect on Bonhoeffer’s view of America and truth. This presentation is an attempt to prove that what Christians owe any pol
itics in which they find themselves is first and foremost to be a people who want not only to hear the truth but to speak it. |

What St. Paul Really Said |
Wright, N.T. (Tom) |
1/23/2003 |
Paul was a zealous Jew whose explosive meeting with Jesus led him to believe that Israel’s God had declared Jesus to be the Messiah, and hence the true Lord of the who
le world. N.T. Wright, Canon Theologian of Westminster Abbey and author of What St. Paul Really Said, determines the best way to understand Paul 20 centuries later. He will explain that Paul’s commission to be the “apostle to the Gentiles̶
1; led him to hammer out a theology that was essentially a Jewish message for the pagan world, reshaped around Jesus, energized by the Spirit, and taking shape as a deeply personal and political message. Rediscovering his complex but breathtaking vision o
f God, the world and the gospel is a central element in the urgent tasks facing today’s church. |

Where is justice to be found? Must we resign ourselves to the all-too-human patterns of oppression and murderous destruction? James Skillen, president of the Center for Publ
ic Justice in Washington D.C., answers that with a resounding, “No.” Skillen will emphasize that we have all been created in the image of God. The deepest import of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s movement extends beyond opposition to racism t
o the achievement of human dignity for every person. Likewise, Skillen contends, it is only in the Creator and Redeemer of humanity that we can find the hope that dissolves despair, the power to overcome hatred, the love to bind ourselves to one another a
nd the confidence that justice will be established. This will be a true celebration of the ideals of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. |

Whatever Happened to Geographic Literacy? |

International competitions, tests and polls prove that Americans are among the most geographically illiterate citizens in the world. Indeed, the U.S.A. is the only country o
f consequence in which it is possible to go from kindergarten through graduate school without ever having taking a course in geography. As a result, political leaders have embarrassed themselves and their country in foreign settings; members of the govern
ment have misled the country in disastrous foreign-policy campaigns. Additionally, an inadequately educated public is in no position to make its views count. H.J. deBlij, a world-renown geography scholar and former geography editor for Good Morning Americ
a, will address why geographic illiteracy can have catastrophic consequences and what could and should be done about it. |

A worldwide argument is brewing that pits the benefits of genetics research against its potential misuse. For Dr. Mark Hughes, the benefits clearly come out on top. Known fo
r his pioneering work in embryo diagnosis, Hughes has found himself in the middle of a heated battle between science and ethics. “Technology often drives science, science drives medicine, and medicine is always pushing society into ethical corners,&
#8221; says Hughes. Stem cell research is another aspect of science that is at the center of the debate. Diseases that might be treated by transplanting cells generated from human embryonic stem cells include Parkinson's disease, diabetes, traumatic spina
l cord injury and heart disease. Hughes will discuss the promising yet troubling technology and where it might lead in the future. |

Preaching Life, The |
Taylor, Barbara |
1/10/2003 |
People expect preachers to proclaim the gospel not only through their words, but also through their lives. So preachers get busy with good works as well as good words. But w
hat strengths of character do preachers need in order to let their light shine without burning out? Barbara Brown Taylor, holder of the Harry R. Butman Chair in Religion and Philosophy at Piedmont College and an Episcopal priest whose noble simplicity has
made her (according to Newsweek,) one of the 12 most effective preachers in the English language, will describe three prime virtues needed by every faithful preacher. |

Referred to as "the greatest manuscript discovery in modern times," the finding of the Dead Sea Scrolls and their subsequent translation has had a significant impa
ct on the study of the Bible. James VanderKam, professor of Hebrew Scriptures at the University of Notre Dame and a member of the international team charged with editing and publishing the ancient manuscripts, will describe the discoveries, the site of Kh
irbet Qumran, where the scrolls were found, and the Essene group that was responsible for them through a sight-sound presentation. VanderKam will further delve into the implications that the scrolls have had on biblical interpretation. |

Habits of the High-Tech Heart:
Living Virtuously in the Information Age |
Schultze, Quentin |
1/8/2003 |
"Technological progress invariably produces moral quandaries," says Dr. Quentin Schultze in his highly acclaimed new book, Habits of the High-Tech Heart: Living Vi
rtuously in the Information Age. Hardly at Luddite, the Calvin College professor of communication entered cyberspace nearly 20 years ago, and helped launch in the 1995 the most popular religious website in the world: www.gospelcom.net. He now fears that t
he unmitigated explosion in "instant communication" is unraveling the moral fabric of society. People are losing their capacity to listen respectfully and to speak clearly and honestly. He argues that we don’t need more streaming text on T
V talk shows and news broadcasts, more blaring television monitors in airports or more unsolicited emails. Instead we should seek virtues, such as wisdom, moderation, authenticity and discernment. Otherwise we will become a nation of high-tech fools. |

Crime Scenes: How We Can Tell What Isn't So |
Englert, Rod |
1/17/2003 |
Recent technological advances have made crime scene investigation an area of extreme delicacy and complicated interpretation. A 38-year veteran of law enforcement, Rod Engle
rt has consulted in more than 275 homicides in the U.S. and is a qualified court expert in homicide in 20 states. During this lecture, Englert, whose expertise is in crime scene reconstruction and blood spatter interpretation, will demonstrate a comprehen
sive compilation of skills, techniques and technology which have been applied in actual cases he has been involved with. Examples of staged and manipulated murder scenes will be discussed. As these cases are considered, the audience will participate in th
e crime solving by using their own deductive reasoning and observation skills. |

Music, Emotion, and Worship: Is There Anything to Fear? |
Begbie, Jeremy |
1/9/2004 |
In today’s culture, more than ever before, music is used to move us emotionally - on TV and in movies, shopping malls and restaurants. From the ancient Greeks to the r
ecent Taliban regime, many have feared this profound power of music. In the Christian Church the anxiety has often been intense, especially in worship where music plays such a prominent role, and where some suspect they are being manipulated. Using perfor
mance, slides and recorded music, Jeremy Begbie, noted author, professor and associate director of the Institute for Theology, Imagination and the Arts at St. Mary’s College of St. Andrews University in Scotland, asks, “In worship, what, if an
ything, have we to fear from music’s emotional power?” |

Moral Crisis of the Telecosm, The |
Gilder, George |
1/7/2004 |
The many telecom bankruptcies of the last two years are often ascribed to greed and graft. Yet many of the leaders of the industry, such as Bernie Ebbers of WorldCom, are ac
tive and devout Christians. Are they hypocrites? Or is the story of the recent crash far more complex and intriguing than the press and courts have revealed? George Gilder, chairman of Gilder Publishing, LLC, editor of the Gilder Technology Report and aut
hor of several books including the bestseller Wealth and Poverty, addresses the moral sources of the telecom crash and the new telecosmic revival now under way. In his futuristic thinking about technology, he draws together science, business history, soci
al analysis and prediction to make sense of the titanic changes afoot in our lives. |

Spiritual Pilgrimage in an Age of World Religions |
Woodward, Kenneth |
1/8/2004 |
Christians have traditionally looked on this life as a pilgrimage to the next. Indeed, the idea that we all are embarked on a journey of faith has become a cliche in contemp
orary homiletics, church hymns and even liturgies. But what does going on a pilgrimage mean in the context of the convergence of world religions so evident in our time? Are all religions basically the same thing in different packages? Have other religions
something to teach Christians? Kenneth Woodward, longtime religion editor and senior writer for Newsweek, will explore these questions based on his professional experience of writing about world religions and his personal experience with religious leader
s as diverse as Billy Graham and the Dalai Lama. |

To the popular mind - and most politicians - more democracy means more freedom. Not so, according to Fareed Zakaria, author of The Future of Freedom: Illiberal Democracy at
Home and Abroad, which is described as “one of the most important books on global political trends to appear in the past decade.” Widely respected for his ability to spot economic and political trends around the world, Zakaria will shed light
on the complex interaction between economics and politics, on America’s role in the world - particularly pertinent with allied forces attempting to bring freedom to Iraq by imposing democratic standards, and on the way in which democracy is changing
every aspect of our lives - from economics and technology to politics and culture. |

Famine, wars, AIDS, extreme poverty…this is the news we usually hear of Africa. But there is another side of the story. Even in some of the continent’s most vola
tile regions there are reasons to be hopeful. Stability is now gaining in some nations that were once ravaged by war. In a number of countries, economics ruined by misgovernment are now growing again. Christianity, in many vibrant new expressions, is flou
rishing in sub-Saharan Africa. Calvin College provost and history professor Joel Carpenter has traveled extensively in Africa and has worked with many African leaders in churches, government, education, healthcare and business. He presents the ideas, opin
ions and vision of contemporary African leaders who have reasons to hope for their beloved continent. |

After Billy Graham: The Future of American Protestantism |
Balmer, Randall |
1/14/2004 |
As Protestants embark on the 21st century, they no longer enjoy the dominance they once held in North America. Changes to immigration laws have gradually altered the religio
us landscape of the United States, but Protestantism in America faces internal crises as well, notably an appalling lack of leadership such as was provided for more than half a century by Billy Graham. Randall Balmer, the Ann Whitney Olin Professor of Ame
rican Religion at Columbia University and senior writer for Christianity Today, has published widely and speaks frequently on religion in America. His lecture speculates on what lies ahead in a religious world without Billy Graham, a world where Baptists
no longer behave like Baptists. |

Throw Away your Computer and Get an Education |
Stoll, Clifford |
1/20/2004 |
Does knowledge of computers equal a good education and a good job? Think again! Despite pressures for campus internet feeds in every venue, a quality education has little to
do with computer and everything to do with the human interplay between student, professor and the body of knowledge. Yes, computers make it easy to look up facts and impress us with flashy graphics but they also discourage creativity. They encourage us t
o copy what we see or read rather than come up with our own ideas and conclusions. Clifford Stoll, a leading authority on computer security and noted author, questions the dependency of the digital age. Are we better informed? Is our electorate more activ
e? Are our citizens more involved in our communities? Has this revolution spawned more problems or solutions? |

Intimately linked, as it is to market forces and investment, the hype and hope surrounding genetic research focuses on the determining power of the gene. This spills over in
to the information provided to patients and recipients and influences ethical frameworks and evaluation. Genetic determinism is shaping socio-ethnic policies and legislation around the world. But is that determining power omnipotent? Or are there other fa
ctors and influences that need to be considered? Named Scientist of the Year in 1996 by Radio-Canada, Bartha Knoppers, a law professor and bioethicist at the University of Montreal, will discuss the trends, the models for policymaking and whether any mode
l can be as epigenetic and dynamic as the human person. |

Leaders Breaking Down Barriers: Sport as a Model to Bridge the Racial Divide |

“Sports captures people’s imaginations, their love, their hate, their passion,” said Richard Lapchick, chair holder at the University of Central Florida
217;s DeVos Sport Business Management Program and director of the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport. He believes that sport can be an effective instrument of positive social change and can be used to break down barriers between different racial
groups. Lapchick, often described as ‘ the racial conscience of sport,’ will challenge the audience as leaders in their community to address the crises faced by America’s youth from violence to drugs. He will draw from his own experience
as the son of Joe Lapchick, the famous Original Celtic center who became a legendary coach for St. John’s and the Knicks. |

How the Middle Class Remade Music |
Plantinga, Leon |
1/23/2004 |
The fabled growth of the middle class in Europe in the later 18th century produced profound changes. Among them was a striking transformation in musical style. Radically dif
ferent was the early 18th century career of J.S. Bach from his son’s in the latter part of the decade. The father was entirely dependent upon employment with the patronage system at court or church, while Johann Christian Bach addressed his effort,
through opera, concerts and music publication, to an urban public, largely comprised of the new middle class. Leon Plantinga, Henry L. and Lucy G. Moses Professor of Music at Yale University, will demonstrate this complete metamorphosis in musical style t
hrough recorded examples and live performance that should not be missed. |

Islamic Reformation: An Overdue Quest |
Ibrahim, Saad Eddin |
1/26/2004 |
Much of the debate on Islam and the West has concentrated on militant hard-line Islamists. This small minority of political actors has “hijacked” perceptions of
one of the great monotheistic religions. Missing from the debate is awareness of a thick but silent trend toward genuine Islamic reformation that is growing across the Muslim world. Saad Eddin Ibrahim will present the features of this important trend in I
slamic reformation and attempt to draw attention to other aspects of a rich and varied religious mosaic. Ibrahim, a world-renowned sociologist and advocate of democracy and human rights, is the director of the Ibn Khaldun Center for Development Studies in
Egypt. He was jailed and later acquitted - after garnering tremendous international attention - of charges denounced as politically motivated. |

Heart of Black Preaching, The |
La Rue, Cleophus |
1/27/2004 |
Though far from perfect, black preaching is regarded in many circles as the most vibrant, imaginative and communicatively effective preaching on the scene today. In fact, ho
mileticians see much that is admirable and attractive in black preaching. If studied for more than its cosmetic effects of style and delivery, or its more widely known feature of celebration, black preaching has something of note to contribute to traditio
nal homiletics in the 21st century. Cleophus J. LaRue, Princeton Seminary’s Francis Landey Patton Associate Professor of Homiletics, specializes in the theory and method of African American preaching. He will address the need for appreciation of and
understanding between all homiletic traditions to make for stronger preachers, irrespective of ethnicity, gender, regional differences and denominational ties. |

On Christian Plilosophy in an Age of Terror |
Rivers, Eugene |
1/19/2004 |
The 20th century stands out as a powerful empirical argument against the daringly original fantasy Europe remarkably referred to as the Enlightenment. Ironically, this era g
ave birth to new visions of moral and political possibilities: total war, totalitarianism and the Holocaust. This madness presented a historic opportunity to advance an alternative vision of human rationality. We missed this opportunity. On September 11,
2001, unbelievable human tragedy gave way to an exceptional historic opportunity to bear witness to this age. Eugene Rivers, a nationally recognized inner-city pastor, will provide insight into this window of opportunity for Christian philosophers to intr
oduce us to a new theory of politics and culture. |

Upside-Down Brilliance |
Silverman, Linda |
1/17/2006 |
Dr. Silverman is world-renown as the leading expert on visual-spatial learners, in fact, she coined the term. The VSL is a person who thinks primarily in pictures and includ
es roughly 1/3 of the population and cuts across racial and ethnic lines. She is a practicing educational psychologist and the founder of the Institute for advanced Studies and the Gifted Development Center in Denver, Colorado. She is the author of “

Hamersma, John E. |
1/4/2006 |
Do emotions have sound? How does a pipe organ work? How can it sound both like a rock concert and a flute? Why are some pipes the size of pencils while others are as tall
as telephone poles?
John Hamersma speaks about the past and future of the organ, the "King of Instruments". This multi-sensory presentation is dynamic and, John assures us, not just "an old man talking about pipe organs"! This mu
lti-media presentation is a collaboration of many talents including Daniel Garcia (from Calvin's Communications, Arts & Sciences Department) who is serving as executive director of the presentation and Carl Hordyk (from Calvin's Office of Conferences
& Campus Events) who is serving as the technical director.
John retired in the spring of 2004 from his position at Calvin College as Professor of Music and College Organist after 50 years of teaching in the classroom and the organ studio, accomp
anying worship on campus and performing. He is currently serving his 31st year as Organist/Choirmaster at Grace Episcopal Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Between the great powers of India, China, Russia, and Europe, a "Greater Central Asia" is emerging. Ten countries are steadily emerging from centuries of oblivio
n. As they do so, they have the potential to relink Europe and Asia as they did during the region's golden age. In the process, they may be creating a different and more modern model of Muslim society than we see in the fractious Middle East. It's worth i
t for the U.S. to support this process.
S. Frederick Starr is Chairman of the Central Asia-Caucasus Institute at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University and Rector of the University of Central Asia , an in
