New book, Humbling Faith, by DCU academic Peter Admirand launches Tuesday 18th June
Humbling Faith: Brokenness, Doubt, Dialogue - What Unites Atheists, Theists, and Nontheists, a new book by Dublin City University academic Peter Admirand, launches tomorrow (Tuesday, June 18th) evening in Purcell House on the DCU All Hallow’s Campus (full details below).
Humbling Faith hopes to embolden doubt and sharpen unanswerable questions, all in the context of loving the self and one another. It aims to help us see how our beliefs, or non-beliefs, our belongings and identities, often remain flawed, myopic, self-absorbed, unredeemed. By creating such awareness of our brokenness, we can fuel greater ethical partnerships and dialogue, promoting peace from our recognized need for one another.
The book will be launched by Patsy McGarry, the religious affairs correspondent for The Irish Times.
An audio book of Humbling Faith will also be available, recorded and mixed by Dr. Declan Tuite from DCU’s School of Communications.
