The Edinburgh Lectures and Edinburgh's Hogmanay

Present the return of the hugely popular

New Year's Day Conversation
2010 is the 450th anniversary of the Reformation in Scotland - “the most momentous
event in our history”.

Friday 1 January 2010, 3.30pm
Signet Library, Parliament Square (next to St. Giles Cathedral)

Harry Reid, author of the recently published and widely acclaimed "Reformation: the Dangerous Birth of the Modern World” and Richard Holloway, formerly the Bishop of Edinburgh, talk about what the Reformation meant then and means now. 500 years on, are John Calvin (b 1509) and John Knox (b 1510) – arguably the most influential figures in shaping the Scottish psyche – the good guys or the bad guys?

The Conversation in the superb Upper Library is chaired by Catherine Lockerbie, former Director of the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
