I was invited by Prof. Donald Wiebe of University of Toronto to a special event organized by him to discuss my latest book. Wiebe is prominent internationally among scholars who adopt an agnostic-scientific approach to study religions. The event was chaired by Prof. Marsha Hewitt, whose specialty is in Psychology and Religion. One of the discussants was David Miller, now retired, whose career in religious studies centered on Indian religions. The second discussant was Kurt Richardson, who adopts a Christian centric view of religions. There was a lively Q&A at the end of the opening remarks. Frankly, I found all the opening remarks to be predictable, including my own. But the Q&A really picked up well, and many interesting points and counter points got articulated. If you have limited time available, my suggestion is to watch the Q&A.
