February 14: Part 1 of The Mystery of God Sunday Video Series

The Mystery of GodOur Sunday Videos return with the latest series from Bishop Robert Barron, The Mystery of God: Who God Is and Why He Matters.  This six part series will be shown in the Parish Community Room on three Sundays in February and three Sundays in April, immediately following the 10am Mass.

 WHAT DO WE REALLY MEAN BY “GOD”?

Atheism is on the rise. Skeptical thinkers like Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Sam Harris vigorously attack belief in God as irrational or, even worse, dangerous. The so-called New Atheism has attracted millions of young people thanks to bestselling books such as The God Delusion and God Is Not Great.

How should Christians respond? How can we turn the tide of secularism and draw people back to God?

In this new six-part film series and study program, Bishop Robert Barron reaches into our rich intellectual tradition to teach us how. Using the insights of St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, Pope Benedict XVI, he uncovers a clear yet sophisticated understanding of what we mean by “God”.

Who is God? And why does he matter? Watch this series and you’ll not only learn the answers yourself, but you’ll discover how to share them with others – especially those who no longer believe.

PART 1 – ATHEISM AND WHAT WE MEAN BY “GOD” – FEBRUARY 14

There are lots of views about God. Some see him as a mythical fairy in the sky, others as the Supreme Being. Some consider him a threat to our freedom. But for Christians, God is not one being among many. He’s not a competitor to our flourishing. God is that than which nothing greater can be thought, the strange and unique source of being itself. Before discussing anything about God we must become clear about one question: who is God?
