Socrates in the City Eric Metaxas

The Greek philosopher Socrates said, “the unexamined life is not worth living. †Using this as a starting point, Eric Metaxas founded a speaking series that encouraged busy professionals to attend forums and think actively about the bigger questions in life. This book is for the seeker in all of us, the collector of wisdom, and the person who asks “what if ?†Within this collection of original essays are serious thinkers taking on Life, God, Evil, Redemption, and other small topics. These luminaries have written about topics vital to both secular and Christian thinking, such as “Making Sense Out of Suffering,†“The Concept of Evil after 9/11,†and “Can a Scientist Pray?†These essays are both thought-provoking and entertaining, because nowhere is it written that finding answers to lifes biggest questions shouldnt be exciting—and perhaps even fun.
