Tuesday 30th April Christening Donne Peter McCullough (Fellow in Renaissance English Literature, Lincoln College). This lecture will offer some introductory reflections on this new presentation of Donne’s greatest prose works, and on the sermons’ claims to the attention of both literary scholars and ecclesiastical historians. It will then turn in more detail to Donne’s sermons preached at christenings—a body of work long neglected but containing vital evidence of his sacramental theology, and of his responses to Calvinist and Roman Catholic thought.
