OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Is Christ's beatific vision defensible today?
Did Jesus enjoy the beatific vision of God on earth that Christians hope to enjoy only in heaven? The answer commonly given by Catholic theologians to this question underwent a dramatic shift in the middle of the 20th century. Previously there had been a general unanimity based on the teaching of Thomas Aquinas that the answer was ‘Yes’: the earthly Christ did indeed possess heavenly knowledge. The theological situation was then radically altered to one where the answer ‘No’ became predominant. Theologians preferred to treat Christ’s knowledge in terms of self-consciousness, ordinary human knowing, faith, prophecy and mysticism, not the beatific vision.
