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

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.).

An appreciation of the "greatest common law jurist of the 20th century". Includes a comparison and contrast of the parliamentary system of Commonwealth countries within which Lord Denning operated and American constitutionalism. Two lectures.

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.

An examination of the basis and justification for war crimes trials, including international law and the rule of law, while protecting the rights of the individual and the desire to achieve a common good. Two lectures.

The Inns of Court School of Law in London, England, was the scene of a lively debate on the truthfulness of the claims of two of the world's most prominent religions on October 17, 2003. The debaters were Shabir Ally, a graduate of Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario, with a BA in religious studies, and president and founder of the Islamic Information and Da'Wah Center in Toronto, Canada; and John Warwick Montgomery.

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 recording bridges an intellectual chasm often regarded as impassable - that between modern jurisprudence (philosophy of law) and contemporary theology. Dr. Montgomery's thesis is that remarkably similar developmental patterns exist in these two areas of the history of ideas and that lessons learned in one are of the greatest potential value to the other.

A look at select legal issues raised in recent books and movies. Two lectures.

An expository sermon on Paul's defense before King Agrippa in Acts 26, and its application today. Sets forth principles by which Christians can effectively witness to Christ in a secular world.

Centuries ago St. Paul stated the issue succinctly: "If Christ was not raised from the dead, then neither our preaching nor your faith has any meaning at all" (1 Cor. 15:14, Phillips). Dr. Montgomery presents the case for the historicity of the resurrection and the reliability of the New Testament accounts of the resurrection. Dr. Grabbe, dean of the Theology Department at the University of Hull, argues that very little is known or knowable about what may have happened.

Two lectures analyzing and critiquing the efforts by Marxists and legal positivists to establish credible bases for human rights.

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.

What can one know about God from a study of the world around us, and how can this study prepare us for a special revelation from God?

This debate took place oi October 2008, sponsored by the Literary and Historical Society of University College Dublin.

The audience of approximately 400 voted to defeat the proposition.
