Erskine Lecture Series

Established in 1995 by an anonymous friend of the seminary, this series provides occasional lectures on topics of interest to the entire church. The lectures include “Christianity and Music” in honor of Dr. Felix Bauer, Professor Emeritus of Art and Music at Erskine College; “Christianity and Public Service” in honor of Mrs. Martha Bauer, wife of Felix Bauer; “Christianity and Literature” in memory of Dr. Harrie Hollman, Professor of Literature at Erskine College; “Christianity and Public Morality” in memory of Eric Liddell, famed Scottish Olympic runner immortalized in the acclaimed movie “Chariots of Fire”; and “Christianity and Worship” in memory of Dr. William W. Boyce, former Dean of Erskine Theological Seminary. In addition to these lectures, the series provides annually for a Sermon on the Resurrection.
