About This Event

A traditional Christian belief is that humans are unique among the many different living things populating the world because they were created in the image of God. This doctrine, Imago Dei, is complicated by a second theological foundation for Christians: the Fall. In choosing to sin against God, humans corrupted their ability to act as God intended, as "image--bearers" here on earth.

As human activity is a reflection of human nature, any Christian treatment of a social system--such as family, church, politics, or economics--must be analyzed in the context of Imago Dei and the Fall. At this event, P. J. Hill, the George F. Bennett Professor of Economics at Wheaton College, will discuss the theology of human nature, humanity's relationship to God, and the role of Christian beliefs in the understanding of economic systems.

Dinner will be served.
