About this Event

Wrongdoing, suffering, and repairing are part and parcel of the human condition. Yet these are variably understood across traditions. Some traditions speak of such experiences in terms of transgression and atonement, others use terms like sin, guilt, and repentance. Forgiveness and reconciliation, dignity and humility, vulnerability and trust mix and mingle in this eternal pursuit to mend profound wounds. Come and hear this conversation between scholars of religion, theology, and ethics.

Special Guests:

Teresa Morgan, PhD, D. Litt

McDonald Agape Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity

Yale Divinity School

Louis E. Newman, PhD

John M. and Elizabeth W. Musser Professor of Religious Studies, emeritus
