The School of Biblical and Theological Studies at Wheaton College presents “Ought We Kiss the Hand that Smites Us?: Why Racial Violence Matters in Church History," the annual Mark A. Noll Lecture in History of Christianity given by Dr. Malcolm Foley on Tues Mar 01 2022 at 7:00 PM.
There is no more spectacular example of violence against Black men and women in American history than racialized lynching. The question is this: what did Christians have to say about it? That question merits even further focus: what did Black Christians, whose lives were constantly threatened, have to say about it?
In this lecture, Dr. Foley investigates the diversity of responses of Black Protestants to lynching, why those responses matter to church history, and why they matter for the body of Christ today.
Dr. Foley teaches at Baylor University’s Truett Seminary, serving as Director of the Black Church Studies Program at Truett. He also co-pastors Mosaic Church in Waco, TX.
