Theology as the Heart of the Academy | Dr. Graedon Zorzi | Patrick Henry College Faith & Reason
View full video here: https://youtube.com/live/WIhflKX4nzE The Faith & Reason lecture is a time-honored PHC tradition of gathering together as a campus community to consider the shape and contour of important topics as presented by faculty and guest lecturers. The Faith & Reason lectures are presented to our campus community—one per semester—as springboards for conversations that move from the lecture hall to the dining commons to the dorm rooms, becoming a part of our campus conversations. The ability to think carefully through complex topics is an important component of civil discourse. We grow individually and as a community, as we wrestle with and debate the merit of the ideas presented. We do all of this with a spirit of humility and charity and with the recognition that “iron sharpens iron.” About Dr. Graedon Zorzi https://www.phc.edu/faculty/ghzorzi Dr. Zorzi is an Assistant Professor of Theology and Philosophy at Patrick Henry College, specializing in early modern moral, political, and religious thought.
