Lecture by Dr James Carleton-Paget (Cambridge University)

Dr James Carleton-Paget (Cambridge University) and The Reverend Nigel John (Anglican Chaplain at Swansea University) who chaired the lecture.

Swansea University's Theology Public Lecture Programme for the new academic year got underway on Tuesday, 30th September with the visit of the New Testament Scholar, Dr James Carleton-Paget, who is a Senior Lecturer at Cambridge University and a Fellow and Tutor of Peterhouse, Cambridge. He spoke on the subject of the historical Jesus.

Such was the interest in the event that the venue had to be changed at the very last minute and the event switched to an alternative lecture theatre nearby on campus containing a bigger seating capacity. An estimated 220 people took the opportunity to hear this distinguished biblical scholar speak on such a hugely important topic.
