The Religious Impulse And The Quest For God

On today’s episode, Stephen Lloyd-Moffett, professor of Religious Studies at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, CA, speaks with Tim and Rick about the deeply human tendency to search for meaning in religious experience. Stephen shares a story from his younger years that would set him off on a vocational path of religious scholarship. The three then spend time discussing whether God can be found and whether we can know God - important questions that invite points of agreement and respectful disagreement. Through the discussion we also see a common value of wanting to acquire a conception of God that can profoundly shape how to live a life.
