In an age of digital communication and distractions, a decline in the study of the humanities, and with less leisure and encouragement to ponder deeply the wisdom within the pages of a book, this Christian in the World Lecture Series is an opportunity to renew the book lover’s commitment to the act of reading.
Presentations and discussions will consider why reading is an irreplaceable way of knowing, especially in a digital age, how to read deeply and well in order to understand the meaning of a text and its implications of the reader, and the advantages of a physical space for reading, such as a library.
