Kevin Corcoran will speak about “The all-but-forgotten Christian value of delight,” at 6 p.m. Thursday in 2019 Morrill Hall.

Corcoran will discuss during the lecture the ideas of delight and gratitude and how they can push people to do phenomenal things in ordinary lives.

A professor of philosophy at Calvin College, Corcoran formally received his Ph.D. at Purdue University. 

He wrote a variety of books, which includes “Christ and Postmodern Culture,” as well as “Rethinking Human Nature: A Christian Materialist Alternative to the Soul.”
