Christ the Second Adam: What It Means to Say That Our Personal Identity Is Not Our Particular Possession
Ephraim Radner
October 28, 2021
11am - 12:30pm,Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
This event is free and open to the public; registration required.
The topic of this lecture is the reality of Christ Jesus as “the Second Adam.” The “collective” character of the Second Adam (as well as the First Adam) has often proven to be a moral challenge, particularly in much modern thinking that valorizes the individual self. How can a single individual—myself!—be “implicated” in the life of others such that morally substantive consequences obtain? And how can one person—Adam or Christ—influence a single individual (me)? This lecture will address the theological meaning of human collective identity by attending to certain modern psychological and sociological understandings of the human person in all its entangled complexity. Within this framework, I will examine traditional understandings of the specifically redemptive character of Christ as the Second Adam.
You can attend this lecture in person at TEDS, or watch the live-stream on our website. More details upon registration.
