Cornell West has called Harvey Cox “one of the most significant religious thinkers of the late twentieth Century.” Cox is Hollis Professor of Divinity at Harvard, where he has been teaching since 1965. An American Baptist minister, his research and teaching interests focus on the interaction of religion, culture, and politics. Among the issues he explores are urbanization, theological developments in world Christianity, and interfaith relations. He is a prolific author, including:
· When Jesus Came to Harvard: Making Moral Decisions Today, describing his immensely popular undergraduate course, “Jesus and the Moral Life,” which attracted hundreds of students each year.
· The Secular City, published in 1965, became an international bestseller and was selected by the University of Marburg as one of the most influential books of Protestant theology in the twentieth century.
· Common Prayers: Faith, Family, and a Christian's Journey Through the Jewish Year, based on his experience with his wife, Professor Tina Tumarkin, of raising their son in her Jewish faith.
· The Feast of Fools;
· The Seduction of the Spirit;
· The Silencing of Leonardo Boff: Liberation Theology and the Future of World Christianity;
· Fire From Heaven: The Rise of Pentecostal Spirituality.
Participants in this evening of conversation will be inspired by the range of Dr. Cox’s spiritual history as we engage him with our questions and comments.
