Ebor Lectures on Theology & Public Life
Politics of Fear, Politics of Hope? Terrorism in the
21st Century
Acts of terrorism and the perceived threat of terrorism are
changing our world. Some argue our freedoms are being eroded and
our liberty curtailed through the deliberate building up of a
climate of fear. Where is hope in all this? This series of Ebor
Lectures will explore these issues of freedom and security, the
politics of fear and the politics of hope.
