Bearing the Image: Identity, the Work of Christ, and the Church (Session II)

Speakers: Thabiti Anyabwile Year: 2008 Session: Main Session

The majority of people have identities and lives that have been based on assumption regarding the notion of “race.” We need to change toward a more biblical theology of ethnicity. First of all, it is important to define terms and use them properly, especially “race” versus “ethnicity.” The Christian needs to understand man’s unity in Adam, union with Christ and unity in the church.
