"Killing Enmity": The Enigma of Violence in the New Testament

Tom Yoder Neufeld is Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies (New Testament), having retired at the end of 2012 from teaching at Conrad Grebel University College. A Canadian Mennonite scholar, previously he served as a hospital and prison chaplain and as a pastor in small Mennonite congregations. Among his writings are a commentary on Ephesians, a text book on Jesus (Recovering Jesus: the Witness of the New Testament), and a book exploring the way violence intersects with the New Testament (Jesus and the Subversion of Violence: Wrestling with the New Testament). His presentation will be accessible to postgraduates and undergraduates, who are all welcome to attend. For further details contact David Horrell (D.G.Horrell@exeter.ac.uk).
