Event Details
Join us for a landmark evening in New York City on June 2nd as we celebrate the launch of Eric Metaxas’ highly anticipated new book, REVOLUTION: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World.
The evening will feature a live Socrates in the City lecture with Eric Metaxas, offering a compelling exploration of the ideas, individuals, and dramatic events that gave rise to the American republic. With his signature storytelling and insight, Eric will bring to life the courage, risk, and improbable chain of events that shaped the founding of the United States.
New York City—long a center of American intellectual, cultural, and political life—provides the perfect backdrop for this special evening. From the earliest days of the republic to the present, it has remained a place where ideas are debated, shaped, and brought into the public square. We are delighted to gather here to mark the launch of a book that revisits the origins of the American experiment and the ideals that continue to define it.
Every guest in attendance will receive a copy of REVOLUTION (a $45 value), included with your ticket.
Registration will open Thursday, April 9th at 12pm ET.
