STH Library Talk Series

The School of Theology Library is proud to sponsor the STH Library Talk Series, highlighting exciting scholarship from all corners of the Boston University School of Theology community. The library invites faculty, students, or staff at STH to discuss a recent piece of scholarship in the fields of theology or beyond, providing the community a chance to engage with a work and its author in an intimate setting. The library talks typically last forty-five minutes to an hour.
