Dr. Dan Campana speaks on the Dissenting Voice

Dr. Dan Campana, Professor of Philosophy and Religion, presented “Domesticating The Revolutionary: A Case Study in the Importance of the Dissenting Voice for the Christian Community” at the American Academy of Religion in November. Dr. Campana argued that, because the origin of the Christian community lies in the resistance activities of the Jesus movement, the voices of dissent from marginalized groups provide the dialectic essential to its identity. The implications of this for the debate over the family are that the identity of the Christian community is neither seen, nor maintained by defenses of tradition, but in the nature of the dialectic as traditions are transformed.
