Divinity-Classics Lecture, Dr. Teresa Morgan

This year’s Divinity-Classics lecturer is Teresa Morgan of Oriel College, Oxford, who speaks on “Theology, Ethics, and Community Formation: The Shapes of Early Christian Societies in their Graeco-Roman and Jewish Contexts.” Teresa Morgan is Professor of Graeco-Roman History and Chair of the Board of the Faculty of Classics at Oxford, as well as Nancy Bissell Turpin Fellow and Tutor in Ancient History at Oriel College, where she is also Senior Dean. Dr. Morgan’s research focuses on the cultural history of the later ancient Greek world and Roman Empire and the history of early Christianity. Her most recent book, Roman Faith and Christian Faith, investigates why “faith” was so important to early Christians that the concept and praxis dominated the writings of the New Testament. It argues that such a study must locate emerging Christianities in the social practices and mentalities of contemporary Judaism and the early Roman Empire.
