Trinity, Mystery, and the Search for Understanding: Reflections on the Place of the Intellect in the Life of Faith

Oxford University

A lecture by Karen Kilby (Durham University)

Monday, November 27th

7:30 PM

Blackfriars

This lecture is free and open to the public.

This lecture will explore the relationship of the life of faith to the life of the mind through a reflection on Trinitarian theology. How can the complex technicalities of the doctrine (Persons, substance, processions, relations ,missions) possibly relate to the simplicity of faith? How, from the other side, can the appeal to mystery we often hear in connection with the Trinity be understood as anything other than a form of anti-intellectualism?

Karen Kilby is the Bede Professor of Catholic Theology in the Department of Theology and Religion at Durham University
