"THE THEOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS OF RELIGIOUS DIVERSITY"

DR. dEMIAN WHEELER
7:30 PM CT, OCT. 21, 2021 via Zoom
Free to attend, please Register below 

"In this lecture, we will explore the theology of religions, a subfield within theology that probes the theological implications of religious diversity. What does religious diversity teach us about the nature of humanity, the nature of religion, and the nature of the divine? Why are there so many religions, and how do they relate to one another? How do our encounters with other faith traditions affect the way we interpret the meaning, truth, and mission of our own tradition? Come and learn about how different theologians have grappled with these challenging questions."

Dr. WHEELER BOOK EVENT

demian book coverIf you are interested in this lecture, United will be hosting a book event celebrating the paperback release of Dr. Wheeler's Religion Within the Limits of History Alone.

On Thursday, November 11 at 11:45 AM CT, join us for a discussion and Q&A with Dr. Wheeler and special guest Dr. Sheila Greeve Davaney. United Dean Kyle Roberts and Rev. Andrea Johnson ('17) will also offer responses to the book. They will discuss the pragmatic historicism Dr. Wheeler advances in his book: a historicism which takes religion seriously as part of a changing, messy, temporal, fragile, diverse, and vibrant world.
