Spring Speaker Series: Joe Hoffmann
A Short History of God
Dr. Hoffmann traces the biography of God in three acts, from his early robust career in the Ancient Near East to the onset of terminal irrelevance in the modern period.
Dr. Hoffmann holds graduate degrees in theology from Harvard University and a PhD in Christian Origins from Oxford University, where he was Senior Scholar of St. Cross College (1980-1983). Hoffmann was the founder of the Oxford Centre for the Critical Study of Religion, and his translations and reconstructions of the writings of the Church’s earliest critics, Celsus (1987), Porphyry's Against the Christians: The Literary Remains (1994), and Julian's Against the Galileans (2004) have become fundamental texts for the study of the pagan context of early Christianity.
