This is the second installment in a five-part online John Albert Hall lecture series titled Values for a New World, being presented in partnership with the University of Victoria's Centre for Studies in Religion and Society.
ABOUT THE LECTURE
Humans have always longed to be at home in the world. Yet today, we seem further away than ever from realizing that dream, more alienated than ever from the “world of things” around us. Drawing on the resources of the Christian tradition, this lecture will sketch a vision of the world as a “home of homes” and attempt to reignite longing for it.
Miroslav Volf is Henry B. Wright Professor of Systematic Theology at Yale University and Founding Director of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture.
