Sponsored by Booth University College (Winnipeg, Canada), this event features paper presentations on Salvation Army history and theology. Anyone interested in learning more about the scholarship being done on the organization is welcome to attend.
This panel is occasioned by the publication of a collection of thirty-three essays, sermons, and contemporaneous addresses by Paul L. Lehmann, The Revolutionary Gospel: Paul Lehmann and the Direction of Theology Today, eds. Nancy Duff, Ry Siggelkow, Brandon Watson. An influential theological voice in his own right, during his years at Union Theological Seminary Lehmann was both a close friend of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and a student and friend of Reinhold Niebuhr. A longtime colleague of James Cone, and among the first American readers of Karl Barth, Lehmann's works were likewise written to address a particular context, influenced early liberation theologies throughout the world, and remain surprisingly relevant for today. In recognition of the publication of this set of essays, this panel explores the interaction of Lehmann with both Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Reinhold Niebuhr, in the context of Union Theological Seminary.
