Dr. Allison
The Rev. Dr. Christopher FitzSimons Allison, who will deliver the main lectures at the 1968 School of Christian Studies, is presently Associate Professor of Church History at Virginia Theological Seminary, Alexandria.
Prior to joining the faculty of that seminary last September, Dr. Allison taught church history at St. Luke’s School of Theology of the University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee, for ten years.
A native of Columbia, S. C., he received his B.A. degree at Sewanee, his B.D. from Virginia Theological Seminary, and his Ph.D. from Oxford University.
In addition to numerous articles in scholarly and popular magazines, Dr. Allison has published “Love, Fear, and Worship” (1962), a layman’s analysis of fear as a barrier to full life and love as the Christian answer, and “The Rise of Moralism” (1967), a study of the distortion of Christianity from a religion of redemption into one of control from the seventeenth century to today.
Dr. Allison is well known as a talented speaker and his lectures on the theme, “The Knowledge of God in the Age of His ‘Death’” should be pertinent and stimulating for all age groups.
Handwritten note up the right margin of the leaflet in blue ink:

AI Notes
A printed brochure or programme leaflet for the 1968 School of Christian Studies, with a head-and-shoulders portrait photograph of Allison beneath the title block. A handwritten note in blue ink runs vertically up the right margin of the leaflet, reading ‘January 9 thro February 5 — in Richmond’ — pinning Rev. Allison’s lecture engagement dates and host city for the 1968 season (Diocese of Virginia, almost certainly hosted at one of the Richmond parishes). The leaflet is mounted at the center of the album page; the surrounding sheet is blank. Transcription pass: rotated and cropped right margin at full resolution to recover the perpendicular date-line previously misread as ‘Mr. Allison’.
