Ebor Lectures on Theology & Public Life
The Ebor Lectures are a response to the growing need for
theology to interact with public issues in contemporary society.
Public theology is about engaging in dialogue with a range of
communities on issues wider than narrowly defined religious
matters. This series of lectures aims to promote public
conversation and to contribute to the formation of personal
decisions and collective policy-making in economic, political and
social spheres. It is also an ecumenical project that seeks to
exchange insights between academic and religious traditions and to
build bridges between church and other religious groups. The
lectures relate faith to public concerns including politics,
economics, contemporary culture, religion and spirituality, society
and globalisation, local and global Christianity.

Fear, Politics of Hope? Terrorism in the 21st Century »
