In God’s Image: How Western Civilization was Shaped by a Revolutionary Idea

Hosted By: Orange County Jewish Community Scholar Program ("CSP")

Community Scholar Program hosts Dr. Tomer Persico for the launch of the English edition of his book, “In God’s Image: How Western Civilization Was Shaped by a Revolutionary Idea.” The book places ideas at the center of history, tracing how the belief that human beings are created “in the image of God” reshaped politics, morality, and individual dignity in the West. Praised by Publishers Weekly and Library Journal and endorsed by leading thinkers, the book has sparked wide debate, which Persico will explore in conversation with the audience.
