Theologian and author of one of this year's common texts for BIFL, Phuc Luu, will be on campus March 26-27, giving Staley Lectures on Sunday at 7 p.m. in the chapel and Monday at 11 a.m. in convocation.
Why is there a theology (a way of talking about God) for the sinner, Luu wonders, but not for the victims, the sinned-against? He takes up that question in the two lectures.
Karen González, author of the BIFL common text The God Who Sees: Immigrants, the Bible, and the Journey to Belong, will give the Staley Lectures on campus Sunday and Monday, March 20-21.
The overall title for her series is “The God Who Sees: Grace and Truth in the Immigration Conversation.”
The biblical story is one of displaced people, a topic that students in Bethel’s senior capstone course are studying in depth this year, using the common texts of the biblical books of Galatians, Ephesians and Philippians, along withThe God Who Sees.
