Saturday, April 14 at 2 p.m.

Jacob Needleman, longtime San Francisco State professor and former director of the Center for the Study of New Religions at the Graduate Theological Union, draws on a variety of psychological, philosophical, and religious traditions to address one of the most basic questions about human morality in his new book, Why Can't We Be Good? (Tarcher/Putnam). Dr. Needleman, author of Lost Christianity, American Soul, and numerous other books, not only helps readers explore the history of thinking about human intention (and failure) to do good, but also challenges us to commence our own efforts toward becoming the kind of people we are capable of being. "[Needleman's] lively prose, storytelling skills and lucid insights draw us into an animated conversation with a brilliant teacher." - Publishers Weekly.
