Theologies of Blood and Land

  • 112 East 11th Avenue Homestead, PA, 15120 United States (map)

This seminar will be led by Dr. Tanner Capps

Acts 17:26 famously declares that "God has made from one [blood] every nation (ethnos) to dwell on all the face of the earth, and allotted the times of their existence and the boundaries of the places where they would live ..." Like debates over the Christian doctrine of God's life in Trinity, Acts 17 underscores the uncomfortable tension that accompanies human diversity across the shared "unity" of the earth. Come hear Tanner Capps reflect on Acts 17 in conversation with questions of the "idols of blood and soil," community displacement, ethnic hybridity, and God's ongoing mission in the world.
