Religion causes so many of humanity’s greatest problems. Division. Intolerance. Conflict. We no longer think that faith is a harmless choice; it is now seen as a dangerous delusion. And yet, religious people report higher levels of personal satisfaction and meaning. How can both be true? Is Christianity part of the problem or is it the solution?
Whether you’re a skeptic, a believer, or an impartial observer, join us for a thought-provoking evening, with our speaker Simon Edwards, as he wrestles with whether Christianity is harmful for us or the remedy to our unfulfilled longings. The evening will include plenty of drinks and nibbles, an engaging talk from Simon and plenty of opportunity for Q&A and discussion.
Simon Edwards is a speaker and writer for The Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics. He speaks nationally and internationally, at public forums, universities, businesses, and government institutions. He has undergraduate degrees in law and economics, and post-graduate qualifications in law, education, and theology. He has recently published a new book entitled The Sanity of Belief: Why Faith Makes Sense by SPCK
