This day of talks and readings will explore the ways in which preachers have appealed to the emotions of their listeners across the ages. After a reading of a sermon by the seventeenth-century preacher and poet John Donne, the day will include a lecture on sermons and emotions by Rev. Dr Erica Longfellow (New College, Oxford), and a roundtable discussion focusing on religious language and the emotions, past and present. The lecture and roundtable will engage both with Donne’s sermon and the Book of Common Prayer.
