Socrates in the City Hosts Author of Devil's Delusion

From Host Eric Metaxas:
On June 12 Socrates in the City will host entertaining and brilliant polymath David Berlinski, who will talk on the subject of his book "The Devil's Delusion: Atheism and Its Scientific Pretensions." Berlinski lives in Paris and is very rarely on our shores. Trust us: you simply do not want to miss him.
David BerlinskiWilliam F. Buckley has written: "Berlinski's book The Devil's Delusion is everything desirable: it is idiomatic, profound, brilliantly polemical, amusing, and of course vastly learned. I congratulate him." We couldn't agree more.
Registration for this event is now open and we hope you will join us by clicking here immediately.

The cost for this event is still only $25 (until May 27th) and all who register will get a complimentary hardcover copy of The Searchers: A Quest for Faith in the Valley of Doubt, which Dr. Loconte will be happy to sign at the conclusion of the event.
