Reclaiming Humility - Canberra book launch

21 Oct 2015 - by

Does humility have a place in contemporary life? Were Enlightenment thinkers wrong to reject humility as a "monkish virtue" (Hume) arising from a "slave morality" (Nietzsche)? ACC&C scholar and theologian Jane Foulcher recovers the counter-cultural reading of humility that marked early Christianity and examines its trajectory at key junctures in the development of Western monasticism.

Reclaiming Humility will be launched in Canberra by Rev'd Dr Graeme Garrett on Thursday 22 October 2015. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and refreshments will be provided. For more information on the launch, click here.

In addition to the launch of the book, Rev'd Dr Foulcher will host a seminar on 'Humility in the 21st century' on Friday 23 October.
