HOUSTON – Professor Christian Eberhart, Ph.D., is the director of religious studies at the University of Houston.
Elberhart said after the recent killings in Las Vegas, the presence of God, faith and religion have been a hot topics.
“There’s a big silence. There’s anger and there is just an inability to comprehend, to understand what is going on,” he said. “On the other hand, that is actually where religion kicks in.”
Eberhart talked about how faith communities support each other during times like this, the role the Bible played in establishing the laws of the land and much more during this week’s Houston Newsmakers with Khambrel Marshall.
