Our students and alumni may be interested in this event. For those of you who do not know him, Dr. Crouse was a much beloved and deeply influential professor of Patristics and Medieval Philosophy in the Dalhousie Classics Department. The Rev’d Dr. Andrew Louth will deliver the 2021 Robert Crouse Memorial Lecture, entitled The Necessity of Platonism for Christian Theology on Sunday, January 17 at 4 p.m. The Platonic foundations of Christian theology was a central theme of th...e scholarship of Fr. Crouse. For him, the wisdom of the Greeks was not superseded by Christian revelation, but built upon and brought to its fulfillment. Building on his recent work on the writings of Hans Urs von Balthasar, Fr. Louth will explore this theme in honour of Fr. Crouse, he says, hoping this will be a fitting tribute to one I much admire. The lecture will be delivered remotely, as Father Louth lives in England. All are welcome to join on Zoom from wherever they are, including for the Q&A session which follows the lecture. To sign up to receive the Zoom link, please http://kingschapel.ca/crouse. Registration will close at 4 p.m. on Saturday, January 16. Further information about Andrew Louth, or about Robert Crouse, in whose memory the lecture will be given, can also be found at http://www.kingschapel.ca/crouse.

Great opportunity to get your paper published!
