CLC 2012
Who are we? Where are we? What is the problem? What is the solution? The answers to these simple, yet profound questions speak volumes about a person’s view of the world and how they live within it.
At this year’s Christian Life Conference, speakers Michael Ramsden and Philip Ryken will help us to explore how a Christian views the world in light of Scripture, creation and the fall — how the Gospel gives us hope and a new way to view the universe. As He accomplishes the redemption of His creation, God renews the thinking of His people. Set your mind on God’s mission. Think, Christian!
Michael Ramsden has been the European Director of RZIM Zacharias Trust since its foundation in 1997. He grew up in the Middle East, returning to the UK to work investing money for the Lord Chancellor’s Department and to study. While at Sheffield University doing research in Law and Economics, he taught Moral Philosophy and lectured for the International Seminar on Jurisprudence and Human Rights in Strasbourg.
Michael is a passionate evangelist and apologist for RZIM Zacharias Trust, and is also Lecturer in Christian Apologetics at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford University, where his main involvement is with the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics. Michael travels widely speaking in universities, churches and at conferences.
Dr. Philip Ryken is Wheaton College’s eighth president. Dr. Ryken earned a master of divinity degree from Westminster Theological Seminary and a doctorate in historical theology from the University of Oxford. Dr. Ryken returned from England to join the pastoral staff at Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia in 1995, preaching there until his appointment at Wheaton.
