The Firth Post Graduate Seminar 2016

The Firth Lectures take place every other year in the University of Nottingham, and it is the custom to ask the lecturer to conduct a post-graduate seminar on some aspect of her/his work. In 2016 the Firth Lecturer was Dr Rowan Williams and he conducted a joint-seminar with Professor John Milbank on the theology of Augustine of Hippo (354-430). The seminar was chaired by one of the doctoral candidates in the department: Mr King-Ho Leung.

An excellent dialogue - they counterpoint each other wonderfully. Millbank effusive, expansively synthetic and almost sans punctuation. Williams condensed, weighed, framed and heavily punctuated!

Wonderful, thank you. Note how Prof. Milbank has finished the first page of his next book in the first 18 minutes.

Professor John Milbank - "We need grace out of the Blue"? - Don't we ever!
