Public Lecture | Fr John Behr on Gregory of Nyssa's On the Human Image of God

The Houston Centre for Humanity and the Common Good will present a public talk on September 14 by Fr John Behr, Regius Professor of Humanity at the University of Aberdeen. Fr John has published the first English-language translation of Gregory of Nyssa’s classic text De hominis opificio (On the Human Image of God) since the 1800s. In this public lecture, Fr John will expound St Gregory’s anthropology and its ongoing relevance for the central question of what it means to be human. Dr. Harry O. Maier, Professor of New Testament and Early Christian Studies at the Vancouver School of Theology, will offer a response to Fr Behr.
