The next SITC event is Feb. 9th! Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse will speak on “Can We Talk? Why the Same-Sex Marriage Issue Has Become So Toxic.” Register by clicking here.
The extraordinary Harvard Astronomer Dr. Owen Gingerich will be our guest speaker at Socrates in the City on Nov. 17th. His accomplishments are staggering. He was famous at Harvard for using an unorthodox teaching style, including propelling himself out of the classroom with a fire extinguisher, and coming to class dressed in the garb of a 16th century Latin scholar. He’s also successfully observed twelve total solar eclipses and has had an asteroid named after him. NOW how much would you pay?? To register for this fab event, click here.

N.T. Wright’s column is from today’s London Times Online. To see it, click here. It’s must reading. We’ve twice had the privilege of hosting N.T. Wright at Socrates in the City. For audio cds of those talks, visit www.socratesinthecity.com.
Just go to www.socratesinthecity.com and register for our emails and you’re in! Because according to GOD IS BACK: How the Global Rise of Faith Will Change the World, an acclaimed new book by two Economist magazine journalists, “Socrates in the City holds discussions on ‘the examined life’ for Manhattan’s smart set.” SITC is mentioned alongside the Trinity Forum and the C.S. Lewis Institute as examples of faith-friendly efforts among the high-brow circuit. Of course.
For a fab article on the subject of whether God really is back — or ever left — in the current issue of World magazine, click here. It’s by my friend Marvin Olasky, Provost at Manhattan’s King’s College. Must reading.
If you are already receiving Socrates emails, you are — of course — already part of “Manhattan’s smart set”. And congrats to you!
