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
Isaac of Nineveh and the Cross of Christ
Tea and coffee from 15.30 in the Hood Room
Isaac of Nineveh lived through the turbulent seventh century, and has left a substantial body of ascetic writings. He belonged to the Church of the East, formerly called ‘Nestorian,’ but owing to the early translation of his works, he was read very widely throughout the Orthodox world. He is a great spiritual writer, and is known for his strong emphasis on God’s love for all creation. The subject of this seminar will be a homily Isaac wrote on the Cross. It is a striking work, in which Isaac describes the Cross as a new Ark and the dwelling place of God’s Shekhina. We will explore some of these ideas, with a particular focus on Isaac’s ecclesial context and his place in the late-Sasanian world.
