Prophetic Lament: A Call for Justice, Love, and Humility in Troubled Times - Soong-Chan Rah

We live in a world that is changing at a rapid rate. We are experiencing profound changes in the demographics of Christianity alongside the trajectory of a more multi-cultural and complex American society. There are also historical challenges that need to be addressed. In this session we will examine how the lost discipline of lament (through the lens of the book of Lamentations) could provide a theological corrective of love and humility that calls for justice in troubled times. Rev. Dr. Soong-Chan Rah is Milton B. Engebretson Professor of Church Growth and Evangelism at North Park Theological Seminary in Chicago, IL and the author of The Next Evangelicalism (IVP Books, 2009); Many Colors (Moody, 2010); Prophetic Lament (IVP Books, 2015); co-author of Forgive Us (Zondervan, 2014); and Return to Justice (Brazos, 2016).
