Why Jesus Was (and Is) a Refugee: Unpacking the Political Implications
10th February 2023: 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm GMT
It is commonly said that Jesus was a refugee. But why is that significant and how could it change our politics? This seminar explores the theological depth of Jesus’ refugeehood to see how it might transform our understanding of ourselves and of refugees today, leading to a more compassionate and welcoming world.
A seminar led by Barnabas Aspray, Faculty of Theology and Religion, University of Oxford.
Barnabas is a Teaching Fellow at the Theology Faculty, University of Oxford. He completed his PhD at Cambridge in 2019 and then took up a Junior Research Fellowship at Pembroke College, Oxford. His research explores the theology of refugees, asylum, and immigration.
