"The Weakness of Christ: Politics, Nature, & the Radical Way of Jesus"
Dr. Samuel Youngs
Bryan College, Mission School of Ministry
Description:
Christology - or what Christians say, think, and believe about Jesus - has always determined the place and work of the church in the world. As our theology of Christ goes, so goes the Church. And in an increasingly post-Christian Western context, the church must learn how to live, and indeed thrive, in weakness. It is at this precise point that the self-emptying (kenosis) of Christ (Phil. 2:7) becomes a deep well for envisioning a cruciform church and how it might embrace a vulnerable and transformative existence in the midst of today's world. Dr. Samuel Youngs presents a daring understanding of Jesus focused on his radical self-emptying and his strange weakness that changes the world.
