Reading Groups – CENTRE of THEOLOGY and PHILOSOPHY http://theologyphilosophycentre.co.uk 'Every doctrine which does not reach the one thing necessary, every separated philosophy, will remain deceived by false appearances. It will be a doctrine, it will not be Philosophy’ (Maurice Blondel, 1861-1949) Mon, 29 Sep 2014 22:45:54 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.8.9 Philosophical Theology Reading Group at the University of Nottingham http://theologyphilosophycentre.co.uk/2014/09/29/philosophical-theology-reading-group-at-the-university-of-nottingham/ Mon, 29 Sep 2014 22:45:54 +0000 http://theologyphilosophycentre.co.uk/?p=2728 Philosophical Theology Reading Group
