SUMMARY:The Stob Lecture with Dr. Christopher Watkin
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, November 18\, 2025 — 6:00 p.m.(Hors d’oeuvres served at 5:30 p.m.)Calvin Theological Seminary Auditorium — or join via livestream on YouTube \nLecture information: We are living\, Dr. Christopher Watkin argues\, in AI’s “horseless carriage moment”: a formative window in which our choices will shape human-technology relations for decades to come. Rather than defending an ever-shrinking “humanity of the gaps” or sprinting uncritically toward a dehumanizing AI future\, this lecture sketches a path toward a thicker\, biblical vision of creaturely dignity\, work\, and hope. \nAbout the speaker: Christopher Watkin is Associate Professor of French Studies at Monash University in Melbourne. His research explores modern and contemporary European thought\, especially where philosophy\, theology\, and cultural critique intersect. He is the author of numerous works\, including Difficult Atheism\, French Philosophy Today\, and the multi-award-winning Biblical Critical Theory—named Christianity Today’s 2024 Book of the Year. In all his writing he seeks to make sense of how people make sense of life. Find him on X at @DrChrisWatkin\, and access many of his Christian talks and interviews at thinkingthroughthebible.com.
