He highlights how every thinker contributes to this web of ideas, responding to their predecessors and trying to make sense of what it means to be human.This online conversation is a collaboration between Pacifica Christian-Orange County's The Great Conversations, Pacifica Christian-Santa Monica's Center for Philosophy & Theology, and the Augustine Center: A Center for Christian Thought and Formation at UCLA.Register Here for this exciting conversation with Dr. Peter Kreeft-------------------EVENT DETAILS When: Thursday, August 20 Time: 5:30 - 7:00 PM Location: Online (link will be provided the week of the event)
