The impulse to be better than others runs so deep in us that we’re seldom aware of it. Even if we understand that it contradicts our Christian convictions, the societal pressure to be superior – not to mention our innate longing – is powerful. Can we find a better way?
Miroslav Volf will be our guide in finding and embracing a better way. A theologian and bestselling author, he’ll discuss the ideas in his new book The Cost of Ambition: How Striving to Be Better Than Others is Making Us Worse. Finding new insights in familiar Biblical passages and the Christian tradition, he’ll equip us to defy our culture of merciless ambition.
Join us online June 6 at 1:30 PM ET as Miroslav Volf helps us strive for excellence without striving for superiority.
Special thanks to our co-host, Yale Center for Faith and Culture, for support of this event!
