Was Jesus Political? Reflections in an Election Year

Newman Nights
Thursday, October 6, 7:30pm–9:00pm in the CIRCLE Common Room, 3rd floor of Old Union
Many Americans tend to critique their religion by their politics—which seems backwards! Just how political or a-political was Jesus? What enduring challenges does he make? Fr. Xavier’s lecture will explore the question in the light of 1st century Jewish culture. Come let us explore the scriptures together. We will provide time for group discussions.

Bring your Bible! And we will provide refreshments!

Newman Nights is a series of occasional presentations on topics drawn from the full breadth and depth of Catholic theology. This program is designed to be of interest to, and contribute to the ongoing faith formation of, all members of our community.
