C. Henry Smith Lecture: "What Does Freedom Have To Do With Peace?" New Testament and Contemporary Perspectives

Drawing heavily on the book of Galatians, Dr. Laura Brenneman, assistant professor of religion at Bluffton University, will explore how New Testament understandings of freedom, especially Pauls, compare to the modern rhetoric of freedom. She will be considering contemporary contexts for living out the freedom of the gospel that Paul declares and testing implications for a Christian position of nonviolence. This evening session will be in Bible study format, so bring your Bibles.
