In this episode, we explore the life and mind of whom historian Tom Holland calls “17th century Europe’s supreme polymath": Blaise Pascal.
Our guide is Graham Tomlin, a former bishop in the Church of England.
Drawing from his book, Blaise Pascal, the Man Who Made the Modern World, Graham brings us on a journey through Pascal’s life, his conversion to Christianity, and his famous argument for belief in God known as “the Wager.”
Together, we’ll explore the ways in which Pascal himself can still be a guide for us today.
This conversation was recorded in August 2025. You can find the original video and transcript here.
