What do naked mole rats, the Millenium Bridge, & systemic injustice have in common? Why, in his letter to the Romans, does Paul emphasize sin as more of a person at work rather than individual shortcomings? What is Paul attempting to communicate about sin?
In this one-night class, Dr. Matthew Croasmun will explore Paul’s uses of “Sin” language in Romans 5-8 and how we might see the effects of sin at play in our world today.
Topics We'll Cover:
Paul’s use of “sin” language, especially in Romans 5-8
How sin emerges from complex systems of human sinning
How persons emerge from complex systems generally
Systemic racism as a modern incarnation of the “Body of Sin”
Why personal discipleship, social action, and deliverance ministry may all be reasonable Christian responses to sin
