The Elizabeth & Robert Strickland Speaker Series brings religion scholars and distinguished religious professionals to speak on campus. Lectures are free and open to the public. This spring we welcome Elaine Pagels in a lecture based on her book Why Religion: A Personal Story. The book serves as a personal memoir dealing with the loss of a young child followed by the loss of a spouse all while asking universal questions about suffering and belief in the 21st century. Dr. Pagels is also well positioned to address the role of a University Church, an oxymoron to many. Dr. Pagels lecture will help the Wake Forest community answer this critique.
