The Ebor Lectures are an annual series of lectures in the United Kingdom that aim to draw together theology and public life, considering the role of faith in "public issues such as politics, economics, contemporary culture, and spirituality." The first series began in 2006–2007 with the theme of "Liberating Text: Revelation, Identity, and Public Life," and transcripts for this series have been published as a book entitled Liberating Texts." The 2007–2008 series had the theme of globalisation and identity. Following the Covid pandemic lockdowns of 2020 and 2021, the Ebor lectures were relaunched in 2023.
