Jesus, Church, and Powers

How do we approach the challenges of a world filled with violence, conflict, and anxiety? Ephesians 6:12 tells us that “our struggle is . . . against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness.” But what or who are these rulers, authorities, and powers?

In this course, we will explore various ways of answering that question with the help of contemporary biblical scholars, theologians, and Christian ethicists. A special focus of our sessions will be discussing ways these categories can shed light on the challenges of the world today and guide Christian theological reflection and ethical action.

This ten-week course, taught by Dr. Joshua Davis, will be offered via Zoom on Mondays from 2:00-3:00pm ET, beginning May 19 and ending July 28.
