Overview

The Hibbert Lectures were a rich tradition of annual non-sectarian theological lectures in London which began in 1849 and continued until 2005. James Moffatt’s 1921 lecture series discussed the importance of New Testament socio-historical studies. Moffatt argued that the New Testament is an astounding historical work of secular importance as much as it was of religious importance. Much more than that, he argued that there is enormous value in applying a secular socio-historical approach to the New Testament.
