Scholar-Activist Encounter 14: Dong Hyeon Jeong and The Alternative Seminary on Luke 16:1-13 — June 16, 2022

How do activism and scholarship contribute to our understanding of Scripture in the world today?

CLBSJ is pleased to again join forces with The Alternative Seminary to host a teaching and discussion on Luke 16:1-13, the Parable of the Manager of Unjust Wealth. CLBSJ Board Member Rev. Dr. Dong Hyeon Jeong summarizes his resistance reading of this confounding parable, drawing from socio-economic analysis of the biblical context, his experience as a Korean missionary in the Philippines, as well as Mel Chen’s Animacies Theory.

This event is a part of the Alternative Seminary’s course, “Challenging Power and Privilege: A ten-week online study of the Gospel of Luke.” Members of the class cohort provide responses to Dr. Jeong’s teaching.
