Bydd darlith Daniel G Williams, ‘Dylan Thomas ac W. D. Davies: Barddoniaeth a Diwinyddiaeth wedi’r Holocost’, yn archwilio ymateb dau Gymro i’r holocost. Pontio Cristnogaeth ac Iddewiaeth fu ymdrech W. D. Davies a dyna, awgryma’r ddralith, un o briodweddau cerddi Dylan hefyd. Deillia’r ddadl o’r ffaith i’r ddau gwrdd yn 1953.
Theologian W. D. Davies, author of Paul and Rabbinic Judaism, met Dylan Thomas in 1953. Daniel Williams’ lecture — poetry and theology after the holocaust’ — reads the works of Davies and Thomas as attempts at bridging Jewish and Christian thought in the post-war years.
