Great Questions

A Trinity Forum Readings Collection

Five Readings booklets on life’s most important questions.

Everybody has questions about life and its meaning, but many times we struggle to put those questions into words. The five booklets in this small Readings collection can help introduce your colleagues to the deepest questions of all time, and equip them to engage those ideas more thoughtfully.

These Readings grapple with such fundamental questions as: What is most important in life? How are we to live together? Is there a basis for moral action? And they do so in a way that is sensitive to those who are unsure of their convictions or uncomfortable talking about the role of faith.

This collection offers perspectives from different ages and viewpoints. From Cicero’s classic reflections on friendship to Woodrow Wilson’s progressive pre-war views to Victor Frankl’s conclusions from time spent in concentration camps and Václav Havel’s reflections on the moral life in the wake of Communism, these Readings point us to the questions human beings have always asked—and they leave room for answers to emerge.

    • On Friendship (Cicero/Holladay)
    • The Man that Corrupted Hadleyburg (Twain/Williams)
    • On Being Human (Wilson/Aikman)
    • Man’s Search for Meaning (Frankl/McDonald)
    • Politics, Morality, and Civility (Havel/McDonald)

Give your friends or colleagues the gift of a great conversation!

For although, unless he understands somewhat, no man can believe in God, nevertheless by the very faith by which he believes, he is helped to the understanding of greater things. For there are some things which we do not believe unless we understand them; and there are other things which we do not understand unless we believe them.

Augustine of Hippo
