This is a brief ‘taster’ of an hour long conversation some friends and I had based on a podcast entitled 'Reasons to Believe Beyond Reason: The Faith of Blaise Pascal' with Dr. Graham Tomlin. T.S. Eliot once wrote, “I can think of no Christian writer… more to be commended than Pascal to those who doubt, but have the mind to conceive, and the sensibility to feel, the disorder, the futility, the meaninglessness, the mystery of life and suffering, and who can only find peace through a satisfaction of the whole being.”
We will be looking at the life and work of the 17th century French mathematician and philosopher, Blaise Pascal, a man who peculiarly embodied the anxieties of his age and ours, anticipating the intellectual quandaries of Christian belief posed by the Zeitgeists of the modern and post-moderns worlds.
