Inhaltsangabe

VeriTalks Volume 1, Pascal's Wager, is adapted from The Veritas Forum at the University of Oklahoma in 2011 on the sixteenth anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. In it, Ray Barfield, pediatric oncologist at Duke University School of Medicine and Christian philosopher at Duke Divinity School, leads readers through a series of questions--Why am I here? Why are things the way they are? What if there’s more?--to grapple with the ultimate question: What is it to be human? Casting Blaise Pascal’s classic wager in new terms, Barfield challenges us to love deeply, wager boldly and live fully. Each volume in the VeriTalks series is a transcription of a live Veritas Forum talk and audience Q&A interspersed with discussion questions to deepen your engagement with the material, ideally in the company of friends.
