Inaugural Lecture by Dr. Stephen Chester
The Great Hall at Wycliffe College
Wycliffe's new Lord and Lady Coggan Professor of New Testament, Dr Stephen Chester, will deliver his inaugural lecture Wednesday, November 27, 2019. Reception from 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. in the Great Hall, followed by the lecture. You are warmly invited to attend.
Martin Luther notoriously labelled the biblical book of James as "the epistle of straw." Dr Chester's lecture will explore Luther's position and the often-misunderstood rationale that lay behind his treatment of James. Luther's views will then be brought into dialogue with those of recent canonical interpreters of James in order to ask how we might appropriately approach the interpretation of James and the other Catholic Epistles today.
