Prophetic Voices For Today: Justice, Faith, and the Church’s Calling (Hood Theological Seminary)
March 3 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
Amid a season of change and uncertainty, please join us for our Spring series of the Pathways For Tomorrow Initiative of the Lilly Endowment
Series Description: This lecture series examines the prophetic messages of Obadiah and Habakkuk, focusing on their relevance to the contemporary challenges faced by the Church and its call to shape God’s Kingdom, on earth as it is in heaven. Participants will explore the historical context of these prophets, analyze their critiques of injustice and national arrogance, and connect their concerns to issues of systemic oppression, religion, and the Church’s role in social transformation. The series will conclude by proposing a framework for modern-day prophetic ministry, drawing on the insights of Old Testament Scholar and Theologian, Walter Brueggemann and Black Liberation Theologian, James H. Cone.
