Grace and justification sound like abstract theological ideas disconnected from our lives today, yet these words Paul speaks in Romans 5 point to a real, tangible transformation of human life. In a world still marked by suffering, what is the true meaning of the vision of grace overcoming sin and death?

As we inhabit a world filled with suffering and death, how do we nevertheless experience and understand God’s infinite grace in our own lives?

Why has Dogma (1999) remained controversial and what does it actually say about Christian theology?

In this episode, John Hamer (historian) and Leandro Palacios (theologian) of Toronto Centre Place watch the film and share their reactions (Leandro has never seen it, and John only saw it once when it was first released).

Join the livestream to participate in the discussion and to ask questions of our lecturer during the Q&A.

How should we understand and live out scripture in our time? This Sunday we will consider how Paul’s approach to scripture in 2 Corinthians 3 is reflected in our church’s Statement on Scripture, especially the affirmation that it is “a library of books that speaks in many voices… written in diverse times and places, and reflect the languages, cultures, and conditions under which they were written.” Yet many continue to read it as factual history, struggling to reconcile contradictions or misusing it to condemn people and justify marginalization and hate. How can we learn to read scripture together, not literally, but in light of the Spirit?

You can participate via live video as usual or join us in person at: đź’’ 320 Richmond Street East, Suite 101, Toronto, ON M5A 1P9.

In this live lecture, John Hamer of Toronto Centre Place will examine the history of Corinth and the rise of its Christian community. We will consider how the issues Paul and others address in their letters to the Corinthian church reveal patterns of factionalism and theological conflict that continue to shape the development of Christianity today.
