[SEPT. 21, 2002]  David A. Noebel, president of Summit Ministries in Manitou Springs, Colo., will present the 2002 Strauss Lectures at Lincoln Christian College and Seminary on Oct 1 and 2. Using as his theme the title of his best-selling book, "Understanding the Times," Mr. Noebel will present three lectures on the challenges posed by non-Christian worldviews in our Western culture and how only the biblical understanding of life can meet the tests of life.

Noebel is an author, editor, public speaker and ordained minister. In addition to "Understanding the Times," Noebel has co-written, with Tim LaHaye, the recent New York Times best seller, "Mind Siege," published in 2001. He is a recognized expert on worldview analysis and the decline of morality and spirituality in Western civilization. He has been a college professor, college president and candidate for U.S. Congress.

Summit Ministries was founded in 1962 to "train the next generation of Christian leaders to understand the times in which they live and know what they ought to do" (I Chronicles 12:32).
