Should Everyone Be Religious? A Discussion with Ross Douthat and Philip Zuckerman
Mark Oppenheimer will moderate a discussion between Douthat and Zuckerman on the ideas in Douthat’s latest book, “Believe.”
For searchers caught between doubt and belief and for believers struggling to reconcile faith with contemporary assumptions about science and progress, Believe: Why Everyone Should Be Religious, by New York Times columnist Ross Douthat shows how religious faith makes better sense of reality than skepticism or disbelief.
The John C. Danforth Center on Religion and Politics is pleased to present a public event, which will begin with Douthat’s discussion of his new book. The center’s Mark Oppenheimer will then moderate a debate between Douthat and Pitzer College professor and well-known atheist author Philip Zuckerman. There will also be time for questions from the audience before a lively reception.
