Was Jesus perfect, or was he human

How Christians answer this question has vast implications for what we say and do in the name of our faith. Using queerness as an interperative lens, Liz Edman will explore how the story of the Syro-Phoenician woman disrupts an overemphasis on Jesus’ divinity.

Together we will discuss how dismantling the lie of the perfect Jesus can help bring a healthier understanding of our faith to bear on the religious & political turmoils that now engulf our world.

The St Bride’s Public Theology Lecture series brings nationally renowned theologians and philosophers to Liverpool to deliver papers from the cutting edge of thought about the Divine and our world.

This is a free event though donations will be invited. There is no need to book, just turn up and there is parking available in the church grounds with refreshments from 5.30pm
