Event Details
Birmingham
Some Christians struggle to be faithful in the shadow of empire; others struggle to be faithful at the heart of empire. At the very centre of Rome lived a small community of Christians. What happens when their story of a Saviour, Jesus, who brought forgiveness and peace, met the story of an empire that proclaimed to truly bring justice and peace by means of a new saviour, Caesar? Does that tell us anything about living this story today?
Brian Walsh and Sylvia Keesmaat, authors of Colossians Remixed: Subverting the Empire present a day's teaching of their new material on Romans. Brian and Sylvia are based in Canada so this is a rare chance to hear and meet them.
This will follow on from the success of the 2004 blah... tour with Alan Hirsch and Michael Frost, and the 2006 blah... Emerging Churches tour with Ryan Bolger and Karen Ward.
Dr. Brian Walsh is the Christian Reformed Chaplain to the University of Toronto, where he also holds a position as an Adjunct Professor of theology. Brian is the co-author of The Transforming Vision and Truth is Stranger than it Used to Be, both with Richard Middleton, and co-author with Sylvia Keesmaat of Colossians Remixed: Subverting the Empire. His most recent book, Beyond Homelessness: Christian Faith in a Culture of Dislocation was co-authored with Steve Bouma-Prediger.
Dr. Sylvia Keesmaat completed her DPhil at Oxford, working under the supervision of NT Wright. This resulted in her first book, Paul and His Story, which looked at the use of the exodus tradition in Paul’s writings. She is an Adjunct Professor at the Institute for Christian Studies in Toronto, Canada, and co-author, with Brian Walsh of Colossians Remixed: Subverting the Empire. Sylvia and Brian live on an organic farm in rural Ontario.
