Proponents of neoorthodoxy disliked the expression intensely, tending to set 'faith' against 'experience', and downplaying talk of 'mystical experience'. Does it make sense today to speak of 'experience of God' ? If so, what of God can be experienced? And what does 'experience' mean in this context? When we read the mystics, are we correct or incorrect to read them as speaking about experiences of God? Professor Kevin Hart will address these questions in his seminar.   Date Wednesday 15 March Time 7.30 - 9.30 pm Venue St. Peter's, Eastern Hill, Melbourne Cost $15 (includes light refreshment) Conductor: Professor Kevin Hart, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, Monash University, and teacher at the Monash Centre for Studies in Religion and Theology.
