[Hac-announce] October 2021 Book Discussion: "The Evolution of God" by Robert Wright

[kvngough at aol.com]

Our book for October is The Evolution of God by Robert Wright. The discussion will take place Saturday, October 16, 2021 at 2:30 pm. Our meetings have returned to USNH, at 700 Hartford Turnpike, Hamden.
Mark your calendars: Due to the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) Convention scheduled in Boston the weekend of Nov. 20, the November Book Discussion will be on Nov. 13. Due to scheduling conflicts with USNH, that discussion will be via Zoom.

>From Amazon:
In this sweeping narrative that takes us from the Stone Age to the Information Age, Robert Wright unveils an astonishing discovery: there is a hidden pattern that the great monotheistic faiths have followed as they have evolved. Through the prisms of archaeology, theology, and evolutionary psychology, Wright's findings overturn basic assumptions about Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and are sure to cause controversy. He explains why spirituality has a role today, and why science, contrary to conventional wisdom, affirms the validity of the religious quest. And this previously unrecognized evolutionary logic points not toward continued religious extremism, but future harmony.
"An original, accessible and thought-provoking view of history...full of rich detail, ingenious insight and bold argument." – The Economist
We look forward to seeing you in person again as we (slowly) continue to 'return to normal.'
