ABOUT THE LECTURE

In Scripture and early church history, Christianity was portrayed and understood as a philosophy of life—the true philosophy of life, with Jesus as the greatest philosopher. Like all ancient philosophies, Christianity was concerned with helping people find and live out a truly good life. But Christianity’s explanation of the good life was and is both surprising and profound. In this lecture, New Testament scholar Jonathan Pennington will address the topic of true happiness and examine Christianity’s paradoxical answer to this greatest of human questions.
