Our Favorites for a Reason

For tackling the Big Questions, Socrates in the City suggests these mind-boggling, perspective-expanding works. Some of them are by Socrates guests, and some are not. All of them are worthwhile and all are recommended by our host, Eric Metaxas.

Thomas Howard

Chance or the Dance?

In this new edition of a modern classic, Thomas Howard contrasts the Christian and secular worldviews, refreshing our minds with the illuminated view of Christianity as it imbued the world in times past–showing that we cannot live meaningful lives without this Christian understanding of things. This is an inspiring apology for Christianity, and a stirring critique of secularism.
