Opis

This book is for the seeker in all of us, the collector of wisdom, and the person who asks, -What if?- from the author of Bonhoeffer, Miracles, and the forthcoming Martin Luther
The Greek philosopher Socrates famously said that -the unexamined life is not worth living.- Using this as a starting point, Eric Metaxas created a forum encouraging successful professionals to actively think about life's bigger questions. Thus, Socrates in the City was born.
First presented to standing-room-only crowds in New York City and written by luminaries such as Dr. Francis Collins, Sir John Polkinghorne, and Os Guinness, these original essays grapple with extraordinary topics from -Making Sense out of Suffering- to -Belief in God in an Age of Science.- No question is too big--in fact, the bigger, the better--because nowhere is it written that finding the answers to life's biggest questions shouldn't be exciting and even, perhaps, fun.
