Gifford-luennot

Gifford-luennot () on luentosarja, jonka perusti Adam Lord Gifford (k. 1887) testamentillaan luonnollisen teologian tutkimuksen edistämiseksi. Luonnollisella teologialla hän tarkoitti laajassa merkityksessä (luonnon)tieteiden tukemaa teologiaa, joka ei ollut riippuvaista ihmeistä. Luentoja pidetään skotlantilaisissa yliopistoissa: näihin lukeutuvat St Andrewsin yliopisto, Glasgow'n yliopisto, Aberdeenin yliopisto ja Edinburghin yliopisto. Luentoja on järjestetty vuodesta 1888. Nimitys Gifford-luentojen pitäjäksi on suuri akateeminen kunnianosoitus. Luennot pidetään yleensä yhden akateemisen vuoden kestävänä luentosarjana, ja luennot luennoidaan sillä tarkoituksella, että niiden sisältö julkaistaisiin kirjana. Monista Gifford- luentoja sisältävistä teoksista on tullut klassikkoteoksia teologian ja filosofian alalla sekä niiden ja luonnontieteen välisen suhteen tarkastelun kannalta. == Tunnettuja luennoitsijoita == === Aberdeen === * 1906–1908 – Hans Driesch: The Science and Philosophy of the Organism 1–2 * 1936–38 – Karl Barth: The Knowledge of God and the Service of God according to the Teaching of the Reformation * 1951–52 – Michael Polanyi: Personal Knowledge: Towards a Post-Critical Philosophy, ISBN 0-226-67288-3 * 1952–54 – Paul Tillich: Systematic Theology (3 osaa): ISBN 0-226-80337-6, ISBN 0-226-80338-4, ISBN 0-226-80339-2 * 1959–61 – H.
