Achebe to deliver Pope lecture

NIGERIAN author, poet, critic and essayist, Prof. Chinua Achebe, will visit the Indiana campus of the University of Notre Dame, March 23 to 26, 2009, to deliver the 2009 Blessed Pope John XXIII Lecture Series in Theology and Culture.





The three-part lectures will be on GOD, Man, and Creation, and will be published later this year by the University of Notre Dame Press.

Achebe's visit is sponsored by the Departments of Theology, English, African Studies, and the African Students Association. The Blessed Pope John XXIII Lecture Series in Theology and Culture has been described as "an important contribution to the post-9/11 debate on religions, cultures, and societies, and are first-rate lectures finely attuned to their moment."
