Beyond the Wager: The Christian Brilliance of Blaise Pascal by Douglas Groothuis

Description: Beyond the Wager by Douglas Groothuis, Lyle Blaker Blaise Pascal, the seventeenth-century French philosopher and scientist, is perhaps best known for his "wager," an argument about the existence of God. But there was much more to Pascal and his brilliance. In this accessible and well-documented study, philosopher Douglas Groothuis introduces listeners to Pascals life as well as the breadth of his intellectual pursuits, including his contributions to mathematics, science, ethics, and theology.

Listeners will also explore Pascals views on a range of topics, including culture, politics, Islam, and miracles.
