Series: Sin: Our Eyes Gravitating in Choir
David Pacini
December 13, 2020
Join Emory Theology Professor David Pacini for this series: “Sin is an important, if often overlooked, component of racial reconciliation. It is altogether tempting to account ourselves free of specific transgressions when confessing to one another. But from Paul, Augustine and Calvin to Jonathan Edwards, sin has been understood as a distortion of seeing from which none of us escape unaided. In the course of this class, we will use art history to discern the role of the conception of sin in informing and legitimating all forms of racism.”
