The launch of the Theological Commentary, by Andreas Loewe with a new scholarly translation by Katherine Firth will take place on Saturday 12 April 2014, at St Paul’s Cathedral Melbourne.

The Commentary will be launched by the Revd Professor Dorothy Lee, an expert on the Gospel of John, and Dean of Trinity College Theological School, and Frank Woods Distinguished Lecturer in Biblical Studies; and the Very Revd Dr Andreas Loewe, Dean of the Cathedral and author, will give a talk.

Following the launch, The Choir of Trinity College, Melbourne, will perform the St. John Passion, conducted by Jonathan Greives-Smith.

The Commentary will be available on the 12 April as an ebook, with the hardback copies coming in early May.

The Commentary can be ordered from all major online booksellers, or directly from the publisher.

On 17 October 2011, the choir of Trinity College, the University of Melbourne, performed ‘Anthem for the Feast of Any Healer: in memoriam Norman Heatley’ at the opening ceremony for the Melbourne Brain Centre.

The work was commissioned by Dr Jack Best, composed by Micheal Leighton Jones, with words by Katherine Firth.

This was the third performance of the work. The world premiere was at Trinity College, Cambridge; with an Australian premiere of the extended piece at Trinity College, Melbourne, in March 2011.
