Cobb’s first point is about inclusive Christology, and he argues that the message of Christ being the center of mankind has been lost in recent centuries (08:11-18:51). Cobb’s second point is that, in both academia and the church, Christ has been separated from other disciplines, and the separation has extended itself into all disciplines (18:52-28:14). Cobb’s third point is a critique of both divided secular and theological education and modern economic theories, and he lays out the biblical principle of unity of humans and creation that runs counter to these theories (28:15-50:03). The service ends with a benediction (50:01-51:14).
