FACULTY OF THEOLOGY AND RELIGION Lecture List for Michaelmas Term 2014 NOTICE: Non-members of the University may not attend university lectures (unless they are announced as open to the general public) without payment of a fee, otherwise than by personal invitation of the lecturer concerned. Persons who are neither reading for a qualification of this University nor otherwise exempt, and who wish to attend lectures in any term, should apply to the Buildings and Events Manager, Examination Schools, for details of fees. At least three working days notice is required before a lecture permit can be issued, to allow liaison with the department or faculty concerned. Senior visiting scholars from other universities who wish to attend lectures, seminars, or classes should normally apply to the lecturer concerned directly, and not to the Buildings and Events Manager. Lectures begin on the first possible day after the beginning of Full Term (Sunday, 12 October) unless otherwise stated. Lectures will begin five minutes after the hour and finish at five minutes before the next hour. Students are reminded that the Theology and Faculty Board places importance on lectures and classes, and that an outline of material given in lectures will be given to examiners who will take account of this information.
