Your Mind Is Not A Computer, and God is Not Nice: Learning How To Think About God and Why
Ulrich L. LehnerUniversity of Notre Dame
An online interview for high-school students and teachers.
What happens when I think? What makes for good thinking? Can I discover "truth," and how would I know when I found it? How should I think about God? What is He like and how would my life change if I knew?
To help answer these and other questions, the Newman Forum invites Prof. Ulrich Lehner (University of Notre Dame) to discuss his recent books Think Better: Unlocking the Power of Reason and God is Not Nice: Rejecting Pop Culture Theology and Discovering the God Worth Living For.
The interview will be held online via Zoom on Saturday, November 5th from 1pm to 2pm, followed by an audience Q&A. This event is free and open to current high school students and teachers. Other interested parties may contact Austin Walker at awalker@lumenchristi.org. More information can be found on the Newman Forum website.
