Zwanepol will speak on "Luther's Christology" at 7 p.m. in the Latourette Lecture Hall at the Divinity School, 409 Prospect St. A reception will follow.
The editor of the Luther Bulletin, Zwanepol has written extensively on Lutheran theology, most recently on the doctrine of justification from a historical and ecumenical context.

Erik Zürcher, professor emeritus and former general director of the Sinological Institute at the University of Leiden, will deliver the 43rd Annual Edward H. Hume Memorial Lecture on Tuesday, March 25.
Titled "Integration and Alienation: The Two Faces of Christianity in Late Ming China," Zürcher's lecture will take place at 4 p.m. in the auditorium of the Peabody Museum of Natural History, 170 Whitney Ave. A reception will follow in the museum's Hall of Minerals.
Zücher was appointed professor of East Asian history at the University of Leiden in 1962. In 1969 he founded the Documentation Center for Contemporary China as an extension of the Sinological Institute of the University of Leiden. He served as the general director of the Sinological Institute from 1974 to 1990 and retired in 1993.
Zücher's research interests include the early relations between China and other countries and the reception in China of complex systems from abroad. His early research focused on the various aspects of Chinese and Central Asian Buddhism and the Buddhist-Taoist interaction. He has published numerous articles on the confrontation of China with Europe, particularly the Chinese reaction to the 17th-century mission.
Zücher is currently working on a comprehensive study of 17th-century Christianity in the province of Fujian.
The annual lecture is in honor of Dr. Edward H. Hume, who devoted much of his life to working in China and elsewhere in the cause of health care and medical training. This lectureship was established by his friends, colleagues and family shortly after his death in 1957 to bring to Yale eminent scholars of East Asian Studies.

While serving as governor of Michigan from 1983 to 1991, Blanchard won national acclaim for his innovative approaches to economic development, education, crime fighting, environmental protection and assistance to children and families.
Prior to serving as governor of Michigan, Blanchard was elected to the U.S. Congress, where he served four terms (1975-1983). While in Congress, Blanchard focused his efforts on restoring America's economic competitiveness and was involved in financial, monetary, trade and energy issues.
