Rick Gerhardt on the Go!
March 1st, 2011
The quality of professorship at Kilns College has stood as strong testament to our commitment to excellence in our classrooms. We have been blessed to house some of the most well trained and experienced minds of Central Oregon. A number of our professors are pursuing further degrees and are sought after for their comprehensive understanding of their given field.
In fact, this past month our very own Rick Gerhardt was asked to be the keynote speaker at a weekend men’s retreat in eastern Indiana. Rick was asked to address a variety of apologetics and chose to present An Introduction to Apologetics, A Critique of Naturalism in Science, The Reliability of the New Testament, and The Historicity of the Resurrection. The audience was mostly highly-educated, deeply committed Christians, and the questions and discussions were accordingly stimulating. His son, Jasper, went along, and helped open up each session with a humorous or thought-provoking skit.
Rick serves on the Board of Directors of Kilns College and teaches a number of classes on Science & the Bible and Critical Thinking. If you are interested in having Rick speak to your group on Christian apologetics issues, he can be contacted at rick@kilnscollege.org.
Science and the Bible
January 6th, 2011Ever had questions about how science interacts with the Bible, Christianity, and faith? Check out Rick Gerhardt’s course this Spring on Science and the Bible.
Rick Gerhardt is the president and owner of Sage Science, a small ecological research company in Central Oregon. He has traveled throughout much of North, Central, and South America and the Caribbean conducting research of owls and hawks.
Rick holds an M.Sc. in Raptor Biology from Boise State University and an M.A. in Christian Apologetics from BIOLA. Rick is a volunteer apologist for Reasons To Believe, Director of Apologetics and an elder at Antioch Church in Bend, and serves on our Board of Directors of and of the Apologetics Guild.
What better way to explore the interaction of science and the Bible than with such an experienced and well studied professor!
See Rick in action answering hot topic questions on Science and the Bible at Antioch’s Q & A service, Redux.
Stay posted on Rick’s studies on his blog, Pereginations.
