"The Pursuit of Knowledge in the World of Vapour" with Samuel Goh

Our first in a series of seminars organized in association with Brisbane School of Theology and St Francis College will be given by Rev’d Dr Samuel Goh.

This lecture focuses on the key theme of Ecclesiastes, i.e. Vapour (traditionally translated “Vanity”), and how the Preacher explore the value of knowledge (plus education) through the prism of the theme.
