Why This War?
Pankaj Mishra, Ben Rhodes, and Suzy Hansen on Iran
April 22, 2026, at 1 PM EDT
Join us for an online discussion on what the war means for the future of US politics and America’s place in the world. The conversation will last approximately ninety minutes, including a question-and-answer period. The event is pay-what-you-wish (with a suggested fee of $10) and open to the public. Registration is required. This event will also be recorded, and registrants will receive a link to the recording shortly after it has completed.
Four weekly sessions, starting May 6, 2026
Each week will focus on a book from the New Testament: Luke, Acts, First Corinthians, and John.
The course as a whole is intended to draw attention to the fact that the Scriptures are, whatever else, a very great literature. Considering their importance to Western Civilization, it is remarkable how vulnerable they are now to misuse and ridicule. Over centuries writers returned to these texts, confident of finding a high order of meaning in them, as great writers have done for centuries after the canon was closed. This is far too extraordinary a phenomenon to be left to cynical use or to neglect.
—Marilynne Robinson
Four one-hour sessions: May 6, 13, 20, and 27. All sessions will start at 7 PM EST.
