--About the LectureChrist, the Light of Our Lives; Or 'What Do the Ox and the Ass Get Out of Christmas?'Prof. Janet Soskice (University of Cambridge)Christmas is about gifts and giving – something that has not been lost on a commercial world that increasingly pushes the religious significance of Christmas to the sidelines. Through consideration of story, picture and song, the lecture will consider what it is we disguise or lose altogether in a festive season bereft of Christ – something darker, something brighter, something of a hint of a new creation whose beneficiaries are more than ‘the race of man’.--About the SeriesThe Ushaw Lecture Series celebrates the cultural and research significance of the remarkable bibliographical, archival and material-cultural collections at Ushaw, and the wider history of which they are expressions. The lectures cover music, art, drama, poetry and literature, architecture, material-culture, politics, science and theology.
