About this Event
Rethinking Christianity
Southwark Cathedral welcomes renowned theologian and Oxford professor Alister McGrath alongside writer, broadcaster and Theos Director, Chine McDonald, for an illuminating conversation about his new book, Rethinking Christianity. Whether in lively debate with the new atheists, in helping people more deeply understand the legacy of C. S. Lewis, or in his many other writing and speaking opportunities, Professor McGrath is passionate about inviting people to consider or re-appreciate the depth and meaning of the Christian faith. But in recent years it has been in personal conversation with his students at the University of Oxford that Dr. McGrath has found some of the most exciting opportunities, as the questions of this generation come to light in hearts curious about this "ancient religion," often learning about it for the first time.
With an introduction from The Very Reverend Dr Mark Oakley, Dean of Southwark Cathedral, Alister and Chine will examine the extent and impact of this renewed appetite for spirituality, faith’s relationship with science, and Christianity’s capacity to offer 'moreness' – a deeper sense of meaning, identity and hope – in an age often stripped of beauty and truth.
Doors open at 6.30pm for a 7pm start, followed by a book signing.
