Title:
David H. C. Read - "Knowledge - With Room for Wonder" Baccalaureate Service 5:00 pm (May 8, 1987)
Description:

  • The questions of knowledge which the Scriptures seek to address are not merely a matter of scientific fact. While modern science is a great gift to human understanding, we run the risk of losing a sense of wonder and mystery about life if we believe that everything can be explained. The Christian faith requires we open ourselves up to the wonder and mystery of life. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)

  • Sermon start time: (Part 1) 26:14. Sermon end time: (Part 1) 50:46.

  • Key quotation: “If we are never astonished, made to wonder, then we are terribly impoverished.”
