Hibbert Lectures
aus Wikipedia, der freien Enzyklopädie
(Weitergeleitet von Hibbert-Vorlesungen)
Die Hibbert Lectures (englisch; Hibbert-Vorlesungen) sind eine jährliche Reihe von „unsectarian lectures“ zu theologischen Themen.[1] Sie werden vom Hibbert Trust gesponsert, der 1847 von dem Unitarier Robert Hibbert (1769–1849) mit dem Ziel gegründet wurde, die „uneingeschränkte Ausübung privater Urteile in religiösen Angelegenheiten“ („the unfettered exercise of private judgement in matters of religion“) aufrechtzuerhalten. Sie werden in unregelmäßigen Abständen in verschiedenen britischen Universitäten gehalten, oft im Harris Manchester College (bis 1996: Manchester College) an der University of Oxford. In den letzten Jahren wurden die Lesungen von der BBC ausgestrahlt. Die folgende Übersicht erhebt keinen Anspruch auf Aktualität oder Vollständigkeit
