Greg Epstein's new book
Join the Reed Secular Alliance as we welcome Greg Epstein, author of Good Without God. Epstein will speak about his new book, which offers a challenge to the religious fundamentalism of the Christian Right and the New Atheism, as espoused by Richard Dawkins. In short, the author provides a much-needed voice for Secular Humanism today, from someone who truly understands religion.
As the Humanist Chaplain at Harvard University, Epstein has a unique perspective – one that is informed by his undergraduate work in religion and Chinese at the University of Michigan and his graduate degrees from Michigan’s Judaic Studies program and Harvard’s Divinity School. He provides a positive, Secular Humanist approach to current affairs and explains how non-theistic ethics can guide us in the world today.
The event will be held on Thursday, November 19th, 2009 at 7:30 pm in the Psychology Auditorium. Reed’s address is 3203 SE Woodstock Blvd., Portland, OR 97202. For all further inquires, please contact the RSA at rsa.secular@gmail.com.
