“Our nation is embroiled in many crises that are—at their roots—intellectual, moral, and spiritual. We need statesmen and stateswomen who will defend timeless truths against the aggression of the new atheism and the radical secularism that we see in society today,” Dinesh D’Souza, President of The King’s College, said.

While at King’s, Dr. Grudem will focus on Christianity and politics, which is the theme of his latest book, Politics According to the Bible. His lectures—many of which will be filmed and put online—will explore such topics as biblical views of government, the role of the judiciary, environmentalism, marriage, and economic policy.

He will also give a lecture titled, “The Role of the Courts: A Biblical Argument for Originalism.” Co-sponsored by the Christian Legal Society of New York City, the event will be held on October 26 at 7:00 p.m. at the American Bible Society (1865 Broadway). The event is free and open to the public, but to attend, please RSVP to cross@tkc.edu.
