In Lent and Easter terms 2016 we are hosting a research group on the theme of St Paul and radical philosophy. The group will meet to discuss recent interpretations of Paul by a range of leading European philosophers, who have given particular attention to the political and social relevance of Paul's thought today. The group is organised in conjunction with faculty and researchers from the Faculty of Divinity and Westfield House, among others.
