Squaring the Ethical Circle: Zora Neale Hurston as a Doer of Justice From October 11, 1952 to May 3, 1953 Zora Neale Hurston wrote twenty stories for the Pittsburgh Courier Newspaper detailing a landmark case in interracial relations. Using her distinct voice and powerful prose, Hurston’s account of the trial of Ruby Jackson McCollum is a cautionary tale about injustice in one of this country’s most famous murder cases. This lecture places in dramatic relief not only the trial itself, a trial that shook the foundations of racial segregation, but Hurston’s fight to save McCollum from the electric chair, offers resources for 21st century ethicists wrestling with new possibilities for human existence in the midst of the existing social order. Katie G. Cannon, Annie Scales Rogers Professor of... |

Embodiment, Choice, and Action Margaret Farley delivers the Nathaniel W. Taylor Lectures on the topic “Freedom, Obligation, and Love.” Addressing questions of the meaning and possibility of human freedom of choice, Farley’s lectures speak to problems raised by scientists, philosophers, and theologians. The central element is a descriptive analysis of the experience of free choice—not the question of whether there can be free choice, but on the structure of what we choose when we choose, raising the further question of whether every choice is ultimately a choice of what and how to love.
The Nathaniel W. Taylor Lectureship in Theology was created in 1902 by a gift from Rebecca Taylor Hatch of Brooklyn, New York, in memory of her father, who was Dwight Professor of Didactic Theology from 1822 to 1858. Margaret Farley, the Gilbert L. Stark Professor... |

What if the Arians had won? A Reformation historian reconsiders the medieval Western Church MacCulloch considers the cultural and religious unity of the medieval Western Church, a wholly exceptional phenomenon in Christian history, and draws on his experience of writing and filming an overview history of Christianity to consider how easily matters might have been different in the Christian West. He identifies Martin of Tours as a key figure, but also speculates on what Western Christianity would have been like in the perfectly plausible event of an Arian outcome to its emergence from the disappearance of the Western Roman Empire. Diarmaid MacCulloch is Professor of the History... |
