Law is fundamental to human society and is one of the grand themes of Holy Scripture. Dr. John Warwick Montgomery taught a full-year course in jurisprudence - the philosophy of law - at the University of Bedfordshire in England. Here is the full cycle of those lectures covering the history of legal thought from ancient times to the present and the central topics in the field (legal reasoning, legal ethics, the foundation of law, etc.).

The history of apologetics, from Paul on Mars Hill to CS Lewis at Oxford. Learn how Christians have defended the faith as each age has leveled attacks upon it and how relevant the master apologists of the past are to our contemporary witness for Christ and the Bible.

A live recording of the historic debate between the late Joseph Fletcher, father of "situation ethics", and John Warwick Montgomery at San Diego State University. A devastating critique of all attempts to base morality on contexts, situations, or relativism.

John Montgomery examines Martin Luther and the German Reformation; Ulrich Zwingli and the Swiss Reformation; the principles for interpreting the Bible by comparison of the approaches of Zwingli and Luther; the life, times, and thought of John Calvin; and the influence of the Bible Reformers, especially Martin Luther, on artists such as Bach and Mendelsohn compared to 20th century artists such as Picasso.

No book in the entire Bible has had such an impact for theological conversion as Paul's Epistle to the Romans. St. Augustine came to Christ on hearing Romans 13:11-14; Martin Luther's study of the book brought him to an understanding of salvation by grace alone through faith; John Wesley's heart was "strangely warmed" as he listened to the reading of Luther's Preface to the Book of Romans at a little Moravian chapel in Aldersgate; and Karl Barth sounded the death knell of pre-World War I liberal theology with his Commentary on Romans.

This is an examination of the nature of the Bible and the claim for its reliability as a revelation from God.

Too often, contrasting styles of evangelical apologetics are discussed solely within the Christian context. In this recording the relative merits of presuppositionalism and evidentialism are evaluated by seeing their application to the argument for the Muslim view of Jesus.

An appreciation of the “greatest common law jurist of the 20th Century,” these two lectures also include a comparison and contrast of the Parliamentary system of Commonwealth countries within which Lord Denning operated and American Constitutionalism.

Sherlock Holmes and his faithful companion Dr. Watson embark on an inquiry searching for ultimates.
