Bampton Lectures
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the lectures at Columbia University, see Bampton Lectures (Columbia University).
The Bampton Lectures at the University of Oxford, England, were founded by a bequest of John Bampton.[1] They have taken place since 1780.
They were a series of annual lectures; since the turn of the 20th century they have typically been biennial. They continue to concentrate on Christian theological topics. The lectures have traditionally been published in book form. On a number of occasions, notably at points during the 19th century, they attracted great interest and controversy.
