Doorkeeping at the Temple of the Mind by Terryl Givens

"We can do something no other organism or other human before the advent of language and culture could do. We can admire. We can question. We can aspire to be other or different than we are. We can seek wisdom from those who've gone before and choose what parts of our cultural inheritance deserve our attention." Terryl Givens is Maxwell Senior Research Fellow at BYU. His books include studies in theology, biography and intellectual history. The New York Times has called his scholarship “provocative reading,” and he has been a commentator on PBS, CNN and NPR. Wayfare: Explorations in Faith is a production of BYUradio.
