The Verge of the New:
A Series of Talks

by Steven Phelps

2017-09-18

1. Introduction, from bahaiblog.net

"The Verge of the New" is an eight-part series of talks given by Dr. Steven Phelps at the Norwegian Baha’i Summer School (July 2nd-8th, 2017).

In these talks, Dr. Steven Phelps, an American Baha’i physicist, philosopher and translator, introduces a way of looking at the past and future of religion in the context of the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment. 

These talks are a further development of the course “Science, Religion, and the Search for a New Narrative” that was delivered in Acuto, Italy in December 2015. You can listen to that course on Soundcloud here: soundcloud.com/khelabaskett/sets/science-religion-new-narrative.

Notes for this course, quotations, and slides can be found here: drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B…TdmM?usp=sharing.
