Autumn Lecture Series: What am I Living For? God
(Monday 26th September 2022)
What Am I Living For? God Are the words God and meaning identical? In our opening lecture we reflect upon God as the object of our search for meaning.

He is also a widely known preacher, broadcaster and author. Earlier this year he published Humbler Faith, Bigger God: Finding a Faith to Live By, which takes the most profound criticisms of Christianity and the church as the pretexts for finding a truer, more honest trust in God.
