You are cordially invited to a special meeting of the Theology workshop with Prof. Kevin Vanhoozer on Monday, May 4 2, 4:00 – 5:30 pm in the Common Room. He will give a presentation entitled “Being in Christ: The Church as Eutopic Theater.” The paper would combine a look at the reception history of Paul’s notion of union with Christ with a constructive proposal for understanding its meaning for today in terms of “doing” church.

Kevin Vanhoozer is an author of multiple books, including Faith Speaking Understanding: Performing the Drama of Doctrine (Westminster John Knox, 2014), Remythologizing Theology: Divine Action, Passion and Authorship (Cambridge, 2010), The Drama of Doctrine: A Canonical-Linguistic Approach to Christian Theology (Westminster John Knox, 2005; Christianity Today Best Theology Book of the Year), and Biblical Narrative in the Philosophy of Paul Ricoeur (Cambridge, 1990, reprint 2007). He also served as an editor of several volumes, including Dictionary for Theological Interpretation of the Bible (Baker, 2005; Christianity Today Best Biblical Studies Book of the Year, 2006), Everyday Theology: How to Read Cultural Texts and Interpret Trends (Baker, 2007), and The Cambridge Companion to Postmodern Theology (Cambridge, 2003). He is currently a Research Professor of Systematic Theology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. He serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Theological Interpretation and the International Journal of Systematic Theology.
