If you have a question about this talk, please contact Bradley Hart.

In the Phoenix Society’s last talk of the term, Oxford Professor of the History of the Church Diarmaid MacCulloch discusses writing his new history of Christianity and the making of its associated BBC TV series. In this work, Prof. MacCulloch refocuses the story to show what an unexpected product modern Western Christianity is from an Eastern religion whose centre might easily have been Baghdad rather than Rome, and he emphasises the power of ideas to reshape human affairs.

Entry, refreshments and wine are free of charge for College and University members.

As always, students and fellows are encouraged to sign up to dine at formal hall with the speaker following the conclusion of his talk.

Please email the President (bh337@cam.ac.uk) to sign up to dine.
