Come, let us reason together
Join me at an online event about 'Untrustworthy' later this month, plus: A reminder of the post-release book club, recent writing, and more
Hi there. I’m freshly back from a family trip to Minnesota and just a week and a day (!) away from Untrustworthy’s release into the world. I could use a long nap.
But! I’m also delighted share that I’m joining The Trinity Forum for an online conversation about themes from Untrustworthy on Friday, Oct. 21 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern. It’s free to attend—all you have to do is register. And if you can’t make that time work, never fear; they typically record these events and later post them on YouTube. (See, for example, recent conversations with James K.A. Smith, Zena Hitz, and Andy Crouch and Jonathan Haidt.)
Two other upcoming events:
Arkansas: Reimagining Faith and Public Life 2022 at John Brown University in Siloam Springs on Tuesday, Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. Central (appearing with author and professor Jeff Bilbro)
Chicago: Chicago Humanities Festival on the University of Chicago campus, Saturday, Oct. 29 at 5:30 p.m. Central (appearing with writer David French, who penned my foreword, and Christianity Today editor-in-chief Russell Moore)
Tickets for Chicago are $20 (half off for students and teachers!), and I’ll be doing a book signing after it’s over. I hope you can come!
I will, of course, be in touch again on release day, and then after that will spend a few weeks on the promised book club exclusively for subscribers to this Substack. It will be a Q&A format—send me your questions as you’re reading, and I’ll answer them in a series of three emails for the earlier chapters, then schedule a subscriber-only Zoom (or similar) video chat for the conclusion of the book.
If you’re a subscriber and have an early copy of Untrustworthy, you can start sending those questions now, or whenever they come to you! Ask whatever you like, and I’ll try to answer everything. Just reply directly to this email or any future note. And if you’re not a subscriber but would like to participate …
Finally, before I go, some recent articles and interviews, as well as the trailer for Untrustworthy, which just published this morning!
