Two leading North American theologians are coming to Birmingham in October to deliver four lectures at
Carrs Lane Church Centre.
Paul Knitter who I have blogged about previously
here here and
here is my favourite pluralist theologian of religions. I don't always agree with him, but I have enjoyed engaging with his work ever since I read his first major contribution to Christian theology of religions -
No Other Name? back when I was a theology undergraduate in the early 90s. Since then he has published many books including
Jesus and the Other Names and
One Earth Many Religons developing his own particular liberationist theology of religions and most recently
Without Budhha I could not be a Christian. He is giving two lectures one on 'Atonement' and one on 'Life after Death'. The other lecturer is
Roger Haight whose monumental
Jesus Symbol of God I am reading at the moment. This book caused a good degree of
controversy not least for its attempt to work out a christology that
engages with the reality of interreligious dialogue. He will be lecturing on 'Who is Jesus?' and 'What is the Trinity?' Check out the details for the talks on the
Carrs Lane website. They will be well worth attending.
