What do we do with our deepest longings? How do the most cutting-edge findings in interpersonal neurobiology relate to the deepest Biblical truths about God, ourselves, and the world? What use is beauty in a broken world?

Renowned clinical psychiatrist Curt Thompson's book The Soul of Desire invites us to consider how the good news of the Christian story harmonizes with recent findings in neuroscience and developmental psychology. By weaving the two together, Thompson articulates a compelling vision of the Good Life to counter our culture's recent slide into individualism, tribalism, and consumerism.

This Small Group will read and disscuss our way through Thompson's very insightful book, in preparation for his visit to UVA on Oct 30th for a Veritas Forum Conversation.
