Drama and Dialogue: God in scriptural narrative

28th February 2013 at 6:15 pm

How, if at all, do we imagine God? Should we even try? Vernon White, Canon Theologian at Westminster Abbey and Visiting Professor at King’s College London, presents three lectures exploring concepts of God in scripture, philosophy and drama.

What sort of reality is God in the Christian tradition? The drama and dialogues of the scriptures present a picture of God as a communicative, personal, moral, agent: that is, a reality who addresses us, who causes things to happen in our world, and who give value to things in the world. This first lecture explored the plausibility and credibility of this sort of picture of God.
