Templeton Speaker's Series: Naming God

Join us for a special evening with Dr. Janet Soskice, renowned theologian and philosopher, as she discusses her new book Naming God. In this work, Soskice explores how the language we use for God shapes our understanding of the divine—bridging theology, philosophy, and the poetics of faith. Her reflections invite us to consider how metaphor, narrative, and naming reveal the mystery at the heart of religious life.
