READING: Harvey Cox, Harvard scholar and author of When Jesus Came to Harvard and The Secular City, will present his thoughts about the history and future of religion tonight at Politics and Prose. “Cox divides Christian history into three periods: the Age of Faith, during the first Christian centuries, when the earliest followers of Jesus lived in his Spirit; the Age of Belief, from the Council of Nicaea to the late 20th century, during which the church replaced faith in Jesus with dogma about him; and the current Age of the Spirit, in which Christians are rediscovering the awe and wonder of faith.” Free, 7 p.m.
