In the Market with Janet Parshall

Rather than leading to a deeper understanding of our universe, this worldview actually undermines real science and marginalizes morality and religion. Join us as we visit with a celebrated philosopher who will expose the self-defeating nature of scientism and will equip us to recognize scientism’s harmful presence in different aspects of culture. He will embolden our witness to biblical Christianity and arm us with strategies for the integration of faith and science—the only feasible path to genuine knowledge.
