The Ullendorff Lecture in Semitic Philology
EDWARD ULLENDORFF AND THE STUDY OF SEMITIC LANGUAGES
Professor Simon Hopkins
Hebrew University of Jerusalem
5.00pm, Wednesday, 22nd May, 2013
Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies (Sidgwick Site),
Room 8-9.
All are welcome. The event will be followed by a reception.
Edward Ullendorff (1920-2011) was one of the most
distinguished scholars in the field of Semitic philology in the second half of
the twentieth century. The Ullendorff lectures in Semitic philology have been
made possible by a generous donation from his widow, Dina Ullendorff.
The speaker in this year’s lecture, Professor Simon Hopkins,
will discuss the general approach of the late Professor Edward Ullendorff to the study of Semitic
languages and will describe several aspects of the subject in which he took a
particular interest and about which he wrote.
Examples will be given of the way Semitic philology has been
applied in the field of Biblical translation and exegesis, using textual
material from the world of the medieval Middle East (in Hebrew, Aramaic and
Arabic) and from Ethiopia (in Ge'ez and Amharic).
The lecture will sketch some of the changes that have
occurred in the study of Semitic languages since the 1930s when Professor
Ullendorff was a student in Jerusalem.

Global Warming & Equitable Development: Ethical and Political Priorities
On Wednesday 6 March 2013 at 5.00pm
FISHER HOUSE
Guildhall Street, Cambridge CB2 3NH.
A unique event jointly organised by The Fisher House and the Von Hügel Institute and sponsored by The Tablet:
Global Warming & Equitable Development: Ethical and Political Priorities
A seminar on the ethical implications of the debate on the origins of global warming and climate change. Four scientists will discuss whether and to what extent these are caused by human activities - the anthropogenic origins of climate change while politicians, theologians and philosophers will discuss the ethical and political implications of the answer to this question. Most scientists and policy-makers accept that climate change is occurring but is it caused by human beings? If it is, then policy choices such as the forms of energy that are produced will have to be made. These choice will have an impact on developing countries including the emerging economies who often have quite different approaches to the environmental question to the developed countries.
The seminar will be chaired by
Lord Williams of Oystermouth (Rowan Williams) Master of Magdalene College, former Archbishop of Canterbury
Panel Members:
Professor Sir Brian Hoskins FRS, Director of Grantham Institute of Climate Change, London
Professor Richard Lindzen Professor of Meteorology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Professor Sir Colin Humphreys Director of Research, Department of Materials Science, Cambridge
Professor John Loughlin L’Ordre des Palmes Académiques, Von Hügel Institute Director, Cambridge
Professor Christopher Whitty Chief Scientific Advisor, Department for International Development

THEOLOGY FOR ALL EVENT Sat 29th Sept
Many Christians in Britain today are unsure what to make of the fierce debate over same-sex marriage. They are often more unsure about how to meaningfully answer the questions that people around them are asking. Are traditionalists simply clinging to an understanding of marriage that Britain no longer needs nor believes in? Or are there profound issues at stake that the reformers are ignorant of? What beliefs about sex, identity and marriage are different sides of the debate depending on? How can Christians make their vision for marriage intelligible to secular thinkers? What case do we have to make? If these are the kind of issues you are wrestling with, this event is for you!

The 2012 Semitic Philology Lecture
The Earliest Syriac in its Aramaic Context
Professor John Healey
University of Manchester
5.00pm, Tuesday, 29th May, 2012
Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies (Sidgwick Site), Room 8-9.
All are welcome. The event will be followed by a reception.
Abstract
The lecture will discuss and illustrate the earliest surviving “Syriac” inscriptions and documents (1st – 3rd centuries CE) and their significance for our understanding of the emergence of Classical Syriac. By contrast with the almost exclusively Christian literature produced in Classical Syriac, “Old Syriac” was used in a largely pagan context and is to be understood linguistically and culturally in the context of other contemporary epigraphic corpora such as the texts fromPalmyra
and Hatra. The considerable variation among the Aramaic dialects in this region
of Syria and Mesopotamia at this period will be examined, as will the
emerging evidence for the later use of Syriac for commercial purposes.

Conference: Alternative Salvations University of Chester: 18th September 2012
In Christianity, there are a number of dominant perspectives on salvation associated with particular traditions, usually expressed in grand future eschatological narratives. But what of alternative approaches to salvation that have developed outside of established religious orthodoxies? The conference will explore how 'unorthodox' readings of sacred texts inform salvation experience; how life transformations outside of religious contexts might be considered spiritual; how ideas of this-worldly salvation are politicised; how ideas of salvation are simultaneously secularised and infused with new power; what alternative salvations can be discovered within Christianity and how might they be practised. In particular, we are seeking to explore the ways that alternative religious, spiritual and secular understandings of the notion of salvation already shape, and have the potential to shape, how people live and act in Christian and post-Christian contexts.
CALL FOR PAPERS
This exciting conference breaks new ground in exploring alternative approaches to salvation. Proposals for short papers are invited on any aspect of the theme of
'alternative salvations' as outlined here. Papers will normally be 20 minutes in length with an additional 10 minutes for discussion.
Short paper proposals should be submitted by no later than 4:00pm on 16th April 2012.

UNMASKING SECULARISATION
In recent decades a spirit of secularisation has enveloped British society. Its powerful effects have been felt in many spheres and have often left Christians feeling threatened, confused or irrelevant to public life. Dr Paul Weston offers a workshop that will help us understand, assess and respond to the dramatic cultural changes that have been taking hold of our society.
Paul Weston is lecturer in Mission, Apologetics and Western Culture at Ridley Hall in Cambridge.

This year's conference is scheduled for 22-24 June, in the picturesque setting of Dovedale House, in the Derbyshire Dales.
The conference
We believe that this event is unique in the UK, providing space for students and academics of many disciplines and nationalities to share fellowship, ideas and experiences in a really inspiring setting. The conference challenges us to 'offer [our] bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God' and 'to be transformed by the renewing of [our] minds' (Romans 12:1). As students, researchers and academics, we meet to encourage each other and explore what God is calling us to be and to do in the university and outside. As we ask questions about our faith, our work, our relationships and our world, we seek to share wisdom and learn from each other by God's Spirit.
Registration

Dr Edwards received an MA in Jewish Civilization from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a DPhil from the University of Oxford. He has taught at Bristol University and at the Oxford Centre for Jewish studies, and is now Managing Editor of the Biblical Hebrew Project at BibleMesh Software.
Most of the Bible is written in Hebrew, a beautiful and strange language reflecting a culture very different from our own. How does this distinctive Hebrew language and culture shape the perspective of Scripture? The conference will consist of four interactive and in-depth sessions exploring this neglected theme.

Vatican II 50 Years On: The New Evangelization
Call for Papers
Leeds Trinity University College, in conjunction with the Centre for Catholic Studies, Durham University, calls for papers for presentation at the conference Vatican II 50 Years On: The New Evangelization on 26-29 June 2012.
The Second Vatican Council was a seminal event which had a profound impact on the life of the Catholic Church and believers, on her relations with other Christians and other faiths, and on the world at large through the renewed sense of mission which it generated. In particular, the Council began an engagement with the modern and secularized world through a renewed proclamation of the Gospel. Blessed John Paul II described this as the ‘new evangelization’, and in 2010, Pope Benedict XVI confirmed this priority by creating the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization.
The theme of the Leeds Trinity conference ‘Vatican II 50 Years On: The New Evangelization’ suggests consideration of the interpretation and impact of the Council, and the impetus to the new evangelization in particular, in the following ways:
• Analysis of Council documents and their significance for understanding the Council and/or for application in church and society today.
• The interpretation and historiography of Vatican II, especially with respect to the New Evangelization.
• The nature of the New Evangelization, its links with Vatican II, and the challenges and opportunities for a ‘re-proposal of the perennial truth of the Gospel’ today.
