SUMMARY:Mark Braverman Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Location: Calvin University\, Science Building Classroom 110 \nHost/Contact: Frans van Liere (frans.vanliere@calvin.edu)\, Department of Historical Studies\, Calvin University \nLecture Title: “My conversion from Zionism: the challenge to the church in the age of Gaza” by Dr. Mark Braverman \nDr. Mark Braverman is a Jewish American who has been deeply involved in the international church movement for Palestinian rights for the past two decades. Raised in the potent combination of rabbinic Judaism and political Zionism that has come to dominate Jewish identity\, Dr. Braverman’s encounter with the occupation of Palestine and the theology of the Palestinian Christians led him to question Zionism not only from a human rights perspective but with regard to core theological concepts and our understanding of the Bible. Dr. Braverman will discuss the historical context for the October 7 2023 attack and the theological\, hermeneutical\, ecclesiological and interfaith issues arising from Israel and Palestine that confront the church and Christian institutions of higher learning today. Dr. Braverman is Executive Director of Kairos USA. He is Research Fellow in Systematic Theology and Ecclesiology at Stellenbosch University in South Africa and affiliate faculty at St. Stephen’s University in St. Stephen\, Canada. He has lectured and trained extensively in the United States and internationally on Kairos theology\, Christian Zionism\, post-holocaust theology\, and Christian-Jewish relations. He the author of two books and numerous journal articles and book chapters. His sermons and other writings can be found at markbraverman.org. \nSponsored by: Calvin University Department of Historical Studies and Department of Sociology and Social Work\, in collaboration with Kairos West Michigan.

SUMMARY:Healthy Dialogue Series: The 1946 Movie
DESCRIPTION:The Healthy Dialogue Series presents a conversation about 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture\, a feature documentary that follows the story of researchers who trace the origins of a mistranslation of the Bible in 1946. It chronicles the discovery of archives at Yale University which cast doubt on any biblical basis for LGBTQIA+ prejudice. Featuring commentary from scholars as well as opposing pastors\, including the personal stories of the film’s creators\, 1946 is at once challenging\, enlightening\, and inspiring. \nFollowing the showing of the film\, Trevor Thompson (adjunct professor in Calvin’s Department of Religion and Senior Acquisitions Editor at Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company) will guide us in a conversation with Dr. David Lincicum (Professor of Theology at Notre Dame University) and Dr. Jeffrey Weima (Professor of New Testament at Calvin Theological Seminary). \nThe Healthy Dialogue Series is a collaboration between the Office of the Provost and The Sexuality Series. It reflects Calvin’s commitments to engage challenging conversations with humility\, love\, charity\, and respect\, eager to learn with and from each other. It reflects our commitment to understanding better\, before we seek to be understood\, as well as the vulnerability necessary to listen well and engage with those who perspectives may differ from our own. \nEvent Schedule (Thursday\, November 14\, 2024): \nAll events are in the Bytwerk Theater\, DeVos Communication Center \n\n6:30 pm – Film Screening\n8:00 pm – Conversation with Q&A

SUMMARY:Healthy Dialogue Series: Fellipe Do Vale
DESCRIPTION:The Healthy Dialogue Series welcomes Fellipe do Vale\, Assistant Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School\, winner of the 2023 “Emerging Public Intellectual” award\, and author of Gender As Love: A Theological Account of Human Identity\, Embodied Desire\, and Our Social Worlds. \nA graduate of Calvin’s Philosophy and Gender Studies departments\, Dr. do Vale’s research is primarily on the connection between moral theology and theological anthropology. He focuses on gender\, but also writes and teaches on political theology\, theology of race\, and other aspects of human identity\, especially from an eschatological point of view. In Gender as Love\, do Vale takes a theological approach to understanding gender\, employing both biblical exegesis and historical theology and emphasizing the role human love plays in shaping our identities. His approach is unique in that it avoids the present impasse between social constructionist and biological essentialist paradigms and emphasizes love as identity forming. \nThe Healthy Dialogue Series is a collaboration between the Office of the Provost and The Sexuality Series. It reflects Calvin’s commitments to engage challenging conversations with humility\, love\, charity\, and respect\, eager to learn with and from each other. It reflects our commitment to understanding better\, before we seek to be understood\, as well as the vulnerability necessary to listen well and engage with those who perspectives may differ from our own. \nTuesday\, November 5: \n\n4 pm – Lecture in the Meeter Center Lecture Hall: “Gender and Politics: Progress\, Decline\, and Our Common Lives”\n\nWednesday\, November 6: \n\n8:30 am – Faculty/Staff Conversation\, SC 300\n12:20 pm – Clergy Conversation\, Calvin Seminary Room 275 (lunch provided) – (This event is open to clergy & seminary students/staff/faculty/alumni.
