Presenter: Rt. Rev. Dr. Rowan Williams Find more lectures from our Underhill series here: https://www.bc.edu/content/bc-web/schools/stm/sites/encore/annual-events.html Saturday, July 11, 2015 Description: St. Teresa’s thoughts on encountering and living with God are much shaped by her position as an outsider to the hierarchical world of her day—a woman, and someone from a Jewish background. With rich references to Teresa's use of Scripture, this lecture reflects on the contemplative as the outsider, and what she brings to prayer and theology.
