The Gospel and the Common Good (Part 2) – Christian History through the Lens of Empire: a Historiography
Overview This is the second of two lectures with the theme: "The Gospel and the Common Good: Bearing Witness in Public Life and the Public Square." Both explore the connection between the Gospel and communal welfare, emphasising the role of theology in contemporary societal issues. The first lecture is: Theology as Narrative Discourse: Reframing our Understanding of the Gospel addresses how modern Christianity's overlook of the common good can be attributed to theological methodologies that misinterpret the biblical narrative. This one continues to explore and build upon the themes introduced in the first lecture, offering deeper insights into how the Gospel influences public life and the common good.
