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
The Gratitude of the Suffering Earth
In the Epistle of Barnabus we read: “human beings are suffering earth”. What insight does this statement offer into our human nature? And how does our “suffering earth” relate to what the Apostle Paul calls “the groaning of creation”, as it awaits the revelation of the children of God?
In this lecture, Professor Behr will explore how early texts from the Christian tradition open up an unexpected dimension of gratitude as they address the theme of the “suffering earth”.
The lecture will be delivered in person by Professor Behr to a small audience. Due to social distancing restrictions, we invite you to join us for a livestream of this event. This will include the opportunity to engage in Q&A with Professor Behr.
