How does the incarnation provide a fresh way of looking at some of the most divisive political and social divisions of our age? What are its implications for the dignity of matter, history and the human body? Why is the Christian “grace narrative” a subversive force undercutting the drivers of social fracture and division? This final talk in the ‘Thinking Through the Bible’ series considers how the incarnation and the cross provide tools of cultural critique, showing how the Bible diagonalizes some of the false dichotomies of contemporary society.
This talk was given at the InterVarsity Northern California Graduate Students Conference, Boulder Creek, CA, February 2020.
