Matthew Simpson Lecture in Religion

The annual Matthew Simpson Lecture in Religion was established in 1980 by professors from the religion and philosophy departments. The goal of the lectureship was to bring a nationally known scholar in the area of religion to campus to expose Simpson students to the leading thinkers in religion, biblical studies and social ethics.
