Dallas Willard - Are Reason and Spirituality Compatible?

About this sermon

NOTES: https://dwillard.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/Are-Reason-and-Spirituality-Compatible.pdf The question Socrates relentlessly pushed upon his fellow citizens, was “How should we live?” He understood that only the correct deployment of reason and spirituality, in cooperation with each other, could answer that question. They are not only compatible, they are made to work together, and if they don’t human life falls into chaos. Today, of course, historical forces have forced them apart and in opposition to one another. “Spirituality” is a matter of feeling, ‘faith’, and arbitrary decision. And, sure enough, chaos has descended. A deadly opposition of faith and knowledge now reigns. Socrates famously said that “the unexamined life is not worth living.” Taking this as a starting point, Eric Metaxas thought it would be valuable to create a forum that might encourage busy professionals in thinking about the bigger questions in life. Thus "Socrates In The City: Conversations on the Examined Life" was born. Dallas Willard was honored to be invited to participate in these conversations as a guest lecturer on April 11, 2012.
