Edmund Perry Lecture

 

The Annual Edmund Perry Lecture honors Edmund Perry, who was appointed to Northwestern’s faculty in 1954 and until 1962 was the only full-time faculty member in Religion. He chaired the department during its crucial years of expansion, in which positions were added in several religious traditions. His books include Confessing the Gospel Mark Preached (1957), The Gospel in Dispute: The Relation of Christian Faith to Other Missionary Religions (1958), and A World Theology: The Central Spiritual Reality of Humankind (coauthored, 1991). He had a long-standing interest in Christian-Buddhist dialogue. Named emeritus in 1992, Dr. Perry died in 1998.
