Candler School of Theology, Rita Anne Rollins Building, Room 252, 1531 Dickey Drive, Atlanta, GA 30322
Wednesday, April 16, 2014, 11am – 1pm
Dean Jan Love invites all to attend the Dean's Lecture with Miguel A. De La Torre, professor of social ethics at Illif School of Theology in Denver, CO. Registered attendees will receive a lunch. Registration deadline is 11:59 p.m. April 9.
The focus of De La Torre's academic pursuit has been social and political ethics within contemporary U.S. thought, specifically how religion affects race, class, and gender oppression. He specializes in applying a postmodern/postcolonial social theoretical approach to U.S. marginalized spaces to construct a theological and biblical ethics that challenges structures of oppression. This liberationist approach to ethical thought from the periphery provides a unique perspective to the normative discourse. De La Torre’s latest publication (June 2011) is a bi-lingual pastoral book titled “A La Familia: A Conversation About Our Families, the Bible, Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity.” It was written for Hispanic Christian families looking for biblical responses to deal with family members who come out.
