Originating from an endowment by the Cadbury family to the University of Birmingham for an annual series of lectures open to the public on the history, theology and culture of Christianity, the Edward Cadbury lectures began in 1946 with the historian Arnold Toynbee and a succession of eminent scholars from around the world have contributed annually ever since.chiWith permission of the license/copyright holderChinaChristianityChristian ethicsreligionidolsimagesiconsReligious ethicsIntercultural and contextual theologiesAsian theologiesArticle
