“If there is a God, He is probably not out to get you.”
—Ross Douthat

In this premiere episode of THE QUESTION OF—a bold new series from the creators of Socrates in the City—author and New York Times columnist Ross Douthat tackles The Question of Belief.

This isn’t merely an exploration of whether belief in God is permissible or intellectually respectable. Douthat makes a far more provocative claim: that belief in God is not only reasonable, but may actually be rationally obligatory—something a thoughtful person should embrace, not just something they might consider.

Drawing from philosophy, history, and the enduring power of religious experience, Douthat argues that human beings—marked by conscience, imagination, moral intuition, and longing—bear the unmistakable imprint of the divine. He challenges the modern assumption that faith is opposed to reason, making the case that reason itself points toward God.

Rather than prescribing a specific doctrine, Douthat urges viewers to begin with the serious possibility that one of the world’s great theistic traditions is true—and to pursue that question with honesty and humility.

The Question of Belief is a compelling call to reconsider the spiritual instincts we often suppress, and to recognize that belief in God may be the most rational response to reality itself.
