SUMMARY:Book launch: Reading the Bible in Australia
DESCRIPTION:You are warmly invited to the launch of Reading the Bible in Australia edited by Deborah Storie\, Barbara Deutschmann\, and Michelle Eastwood.  Robyn Whitaker\, Associate Professor of New Testament at Pilgrim\, will launch the book. She will be joined by Naomi Wolfe\, Rev Dr Graham Cole and Dr Jonathan Cornford who will be part of a panel discussing the book and its implications for reading the Bible in Australia. \nReading the Bible in Australia is a collection of essays that invite reflection about how the Bible matters to Australia. Contributors probe intersections between vital debates about Australian identity (who we have been\, are\, and aspire to become) and the Bible\, bringing a range of perspectives to critical themes–indigeneity\, colonization\, and migration; landscape\, biodiversity\, and climate; gender and marginality; economics\, ideology\, and rhetoric. Each chapter explores the past and present influence of a biblical text or theme. Some offer fresh contextually and ethically informed readings. All interrogate the wider outcomes of reading the Bible in different ways. Given the tragic consequences of how it has been used historically\, and sometimes still is\, some Australians would exclude the Bible and its interpreters from public debate. Yet\, as Meredith Lake’s The Bible in Australia demonstrates\, “a degree of biblical literacy–along with critical skill in evaluating how the Bible has been taken up and interpreted in our history–can only help Australians grapple well with the choices Australia faces.” Love it or hate it\, there is no getting around the reality that the Bible\, and how it is read\, still matters. \n5.30pm on Thursday 2nd May \nYuma Auditorium\, Centre for Theology and Ministry\, 29 College Crescent\, Parkville. \nPlease RSVP by Friday 26 April through the link – https://events.humanitix.com/reading-the-bible-in-australia-book-launch

SUMMARY:Northey Lecture: Bearing Witness – an approach to Christian-Muslim Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the first lecture in the 2024 Northey Lecture series\, co-hosted with Trinity College Theological School as the Hughes-Cheong public lecture\, to be presented by Dr Joshua Ralston\, Reader in Christian-Muslim Relations at the School of Divinity\, University of Edinburgh and visiting scholar at Trinity College Theological School. \n\nBearing Witness: An Approach to Christian-Muslim Dialogue discusses how two assumptions dominate approaches to Christian-Muslim theological dialogue. First\, theological differences over God\, Jesus\, and Muhammad are viewed as the main problem facing Christian-Muslim relations. Based on this claim\, the chief aim of interfaith dialogue becomes addressing the problem of difference through seeking out areas of commonality and theological consensus. This paper challenges both assumptions by presenting a vision of Christian theological engagement with Islamic thought where the primary aim is not agreement\, but mutual learning through non-apologetic witness\, honest contestation\, and theological clarification. The profound questions that Islamic thought present to Christian theology about God\, the Qur’an\, and Jesus Christ are not viewed as a threat\, but as an opportunity for fresh theological reflection on what it means to bear witness to the God who speaks. \nParking is not available on College grounds.  \n\n\nDate: Thursday 21 March 2024 \nTime: 7 – 9pm (Refreshments will be served in the Bernardo Family Atrium after the lecture). \nVenue: Craig Auditorium\, Gateway Building\, Trinity College\, 100 Royal Parade\, Parkville VIC 3052 \nRSVP: By 5pm\, Thursday 14 March 2024 \nTickets: Free\, but bookings essential. Book at TryBooking \nEnquiries: Briony O’Halloran | events@trinity.unimelb.edu.au | 03 8341 0216
