Winter School
Jesus and Mission in the Shadow of Empire
Led by Revd Dr Graham Adams and Revd Dr Jonathan Tallon, this Summer School will enable:
- critical study of how biblical and contemporary Christian tradition informs reflection on Empire
- critical analysis of how socio-political reality, like Empire, informs Christian tradition, reflection and mission
- understanding, assimilation and evaluation of advanced scholarship in relation to Empire, historical and contemporary
- demonstration of initiative, theological reflectiveness and missional insight in relation to the complex and ambiguous interactions between faith and socio-politics
In particular, we focus on –
- imperial power and ideology in Scripture, especially the Roman context
- imperial patterns of domination (g. gender, slavery, race), parameters of ‘civilisation’, and economics
- the life of Jesus and reflections on him in the light of Empire
- missional responses to Empire in the church and/or wider world
