"Pascal's Wager," Blaise Pascal's famous argument for Christian faith, is just one of his many ideas that remain helpful today. Grappling with the tension between faith and reason, and understanding modern unbelief as well as belief, he is a guide for us in meeting the challenges of modern life.

On August 29, we had an online conversation on "Blaise Pascal: The Man who Made the Modern World" with its author, Graham Tomlin, a former bishop in the Church of England.

Historian (and recent Trinity Forum guest) Tom Holland has called the book "a brilliant guide to the life and thought of 17th century Europe's supreme polymath."

"The sole cause of our unhappiness is that we do not know how to stay quietly in a room." —Blaise Pascal
