Presented by the FONS VITAE FORUM’S LECTURE SERIES which are devoted to the Inner Life,

in collaboration with LOUISVILLE PRESBYTERIAN THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY

and the CENTER FOR INTERFAITH RELATIONS.

Support provided by Fons Vitae board member Lopa Mehrotra and the Snowy Owl Foundation.

What can history tell us about Jesus and what remains mystery?

In her latest book, Miracles and Wonder: The Historical Mystery of Jesus, acclaimed scholar and bestselling author Elaine Pagels turns her attention to one of history’s most enduring questions: How did a poor young Jewish man inspire a movement that would become a world religion?

Through this compelling conversation, Pagels will illuminate the experiences, struggles, and hopes of Jesus’s earliest followers and consider how the stories they told shaped Christian faith across generations.

Be part of the conversation. Reserve your seat by Nov 3.

This event is free, but seating is limited.
