Who Do You Say I Am? Jesus Christ as Seen through His Closest Relationships
Anne Clifford
Monday, 04 Apr 2011 at 7:00 pm – South Ballroom, Memorial Union
Anne Clifford is the Msgr. James A. Supple Chair of Catholic Studies in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Iowa State. Her talk explores Jesus Christ's most intimate relationships in response to one of the core questions he raised in the Gospels, "Who do you say I am?" She uses contemporary biblical scholarship to show how Jesus invited his closest companions to leave conventional wisdom behind and live by an alternative wisdom, one that challenged the cultural customs and societal patterns of his day. Clifford is the author of Introducing Feminist Theology and coeditor of Christology: Memory, Inquiry, Practice. She earned her PhD from the Catholic University of America. The Msgr. James A.
