Lectures now online

Nine of the St George's Cathedral Lectures are now available for download from the Lecture Recordings and Texts page of this website with permission from the authors.

There are 18 lectures in the series, which was launched in 1995 with the aim of exploring connections between the Christian tradition and other fields of learning.

Each lecture is given by a scholar with expertise in a particular field, who is invited to choose their own theme. These have covered a fascinating range of subjects, including the role of church music, religion vs science, life beyond death, and Australian spirituality.

For those who prefer the 'real book' experience, the complete series remains available in booklet form from the Cathedral Shop for $5 per lecture ($8 for The New Atheists).
