In May 2009 Sarum College played host to the Book Launch of Keith Ward's The God Conclusion.
This book is the revised and expanded version of his Sarum Theological Lectures in 2008 in our very own Salisbury Cathedral by Professor Ward who was Professor of the History and Philosophy of Religion in the University of London, and Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford.
Professor Ward’s aim is to defend the view, attacked by some of the so-called ‘New Atheists’, that philosophy, far from being
the enemy of religion, has more often than not maintained a spiritual and non-materialist view of the universe and that most of the greatest thinkers in philosophy, from Plato to Hegel at least, accepted ‘the God Conclusion’.
The article, "Cyril of Jerusalem on the Holy Spirit," by Dr Juliette Day, Director of Liturgical Studies, has been published in the book, "The Holy Spirit in the Fathers of the Church".
The Cavell Room at Sarum College was overflowing for the launch of To Trust and To Love on 29 July.
