Based on the speaker's book, this presentation explored the foundations of our spiritual longing and the basics of the Christian faith. Why do we expect justice? Why do we crave spirituality? Why are we attracted to beauty? Why are relationships often so painful? And how will the world be made right? According to N.T. Wright, these questions are the very echoes of a voice we dimly perceive but deeply long to hear.They take us to the heart of who God is and what he wants from us.

This presentation was part of the January Series 2007 at Calvin College.
