Could the Word Have Become Flesh as a Bantu or a Cherokee Indian?

The Center for Non-Western Studies invites you to a public lecture on the topic: “Could the Word Have Become Flesh as a Bantu or a Cherokee Indian?”

The speaker is Dr. Tedla Woldeyohannes. The event will be held in the classroom in RichLyn Library from 7:00 to 8:15 p.m. on October 17, 2024.

This public lecture is part of my research for a book project on Race and Christian Philosophy, which is a topic that has received the least attention from Christian philosophers for decades. Come and explore with me the implications of the following reasoning: God’s decision to enter this world as reported in the Bible, in Jesus’s miraculous birth from Mary as a Middle Eastern Jew, is perfectly compatible with the POSSIBILITY that the Incarnation could have taken place among the Indigenous people of the Americas or the Yoruba or the Bantu of Africa, the Chinese or Korean, the Swedes or the Icelanders.
