Dr. Matthew Umbarger, professor from Newman University, teaches in the Chapel during June. His topic is Jesus the Revolutionary.

We are excited to welcome Dr. Matthew Umbarger back to Grace in June. Dr. Umbarger is a professor at Newman University and teaches an adult Sunday School class here at 10 am on Sundays in June. The class meets in the Grace Chapel. The topic is “Jesus the Revolutionary.”  This is what Dr. Umbarger says about the class:

In popular Christian thought and art, Jesus’ attributes of meekness and gentleness are often sentimentalized. Worse, Jesus’ Gospel has been often co-opted into the worldly, ideological stratagems of party politics. We have tamed Jesus, and transformed His Gospel into a tonic to comfort ourselves and a weapon to afflict our enemies. But Jesus didn’t come to make us feel good about ourselves and wage our personal battles. He came to turn the world system that we are so familiar and comfortable with on its head. In this series, we will look at the political and religious message that is Jesus’ Gospel of the Kingdom.
