In making this post on this particular thread, I'm keeping in mind the MobileRead rule that "media comes before subject." If the
freebie below was an ebook, it would belong on the "Christian Interest" thread.
Hear a new,
free streaming audio "conversation" (lecture) from
Mars Hill Audio every day. You also can download each day's lecture,
free. I'll give you information about how to do either or both, in a moment.
I've pulled some quotes from
Mars Hill Audio's website, describing their purpose and work:
The conventional beliefs and practices of contemporary culture present a range of challenges to Christians striving to be faithful to their Lord. Some of these challenges are obvious, even if knowing how to meet them is perplexing. Others are concealed and become apparent only with the discipline of discerning and patient reflection . . . . Our conversation partners are typically the authors of perceptive books that describe in some detail aspects of cultural history, theological themes with cultural consequences, or how cultural practices and artifacts convey beliefs and dispositions.
The lectures are philosophical, and on fairly narrow subjects, at that. And, to put it plainly, they will be a little difficult for the non-philosophically inclined person to understand.
Again, each day's lecture is
free. Navigate to
Mars Hill Audio's homepage--the audio
du jour will be in grayed-out print near the top of
the page. However, if you want one that you have missed, you can still get it, but at a charge. While you apparently cannot download a lecture from
Mars Hill Audio's website, you can do that, and for
free, using the also
free app that they offer (for some reason, I wasn't able to make a link to the webpage, that worked; I suggest that you navigate to the webpage, from
the homepage. Click on "MHA App" near the bottom of the screen, on the lefthand side, at
that webpage).
I listened to the first part of today's lecture, "Apologetics beyond C.S. Lewis," given by Alison Milbank, and think that it is very good.
I don't know for sure what time of day the lectures change over, but I suspect that it is midnight EDT.
