中文书会： 在圣经故乡探寻古希腊罗马

English: Speaker: Yanping Lin, Ph.D. Dr. Yanping Lin, a Canadian-Chinese entrepreneur, will discuss his new book, “A Journey to Israel-Jordan: In Search of Ancient Greece and Rome in the Holy Land.” Unlike a traditional pilgrimage to explore the Bible, Lin's journey focuses on uncovering the influences of ancient Greek and Roman civilizations in the region. The book centers on these historical traces and offers reflections on the contrasting worldviews of Jerusalem and Athens. Lin writes, "Religion demands unwavering loyalty and blind devotion, while reason champions logic, critical thinking, and inquiry. Thus, we can see that Jerusalem, symbolizing religion, and Athens, symbolizing reason, are fundamentally different—and I stand firmly with Athens." You are welcome to join the book talk and embark on an intellectual journey with the author. Join Zoom : https://queenslib.org/4DZy
Chinese: 主讲人： 林炎平博士 在他的新书《以色列-约旦行：在圣经故乡探寻古希腊罗马》中，林博士将这次旅行看成一次“朝圣之旅”，但“朝”的不是圣经，而是古希腊罗马文明。因此，古希腊罗马在该地区的历史痕迹，以及对耶路撒冷和雅典所代表的两种文明的对比与思考，成为本书的核心。作者说：“宗教只需要忠心耿耿、死心塌地，而理性才崇尚逻辑思辨、批判质疑。“ ”代表宗教的耶路撒冷和代表理性的雅典确实截然不同，而我坚定地站在雅典一边。” 欢迎加入“在圣经故乡探寻古希腊罗马”的行列，与作者一起，做一场有趣的思想漫游。 11月2日星期六下午2点 亲临现场：法拉盛图书馆三楼会议室 远程加入：https://queenslib.org/4DZy 会议代码: 890 5491 2105 密码: 4117
