TEACHING THROUGH STORIES HAS BEEN DONE FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS AND JOHN BARTHOLOMEW HAS A STORY TO TELL THAT WILL INTEREST YOU.Actually, it’s not his story. He just related the story which was told in a series of spirited, round table discussions he had with a group of fellow retirees who regularly met under a cabana on the beach on South Padre Island, Texas. The group was comprised of seniors from varied backgrounds and beliefs and they really mixed it up as they debated those socially taboo subjects of religion, theology, philosophy and politics. What could be more interesting, educational and entertaining than being drawn into these engaging and comprehensive conversations which address the big questions on the minds of every person who leads an examined life? Is there a God? What is he like? Why are we here? What is our purpose in life? Is there an afterlife? What can we know? Why do we believe? How do we believe? What do we believe? What can we hope? How can we love and be loved? How can we lead a good life?This group of unique characters provides fresh insight into the Christian doctrine in exemplary debates which centered on what numerous theologians like Calvin, Luther, Pascal, Spurgeon, R. C. Sproul, C. S. Lewis, G. K. Chesterton, and other great thinkers like Franklin, Jefferson and Lincoln have to tell us. The opinions of philosophers like Aristotle, Hume, Sartre, Russell, Schopenhauer, Emerson, Kierkegaard and scientists like Einstein, Freud and Darwin framed the group’s discussion of how atheistic beliefs compare with Christianity and how Christians can meet the challenge of the secularization of America. I believe you will find these lively discussions to be good drama and informative. As John Calvin once said, 'A true faith is an intelligent faith.' 3
