PANEL: PROTESTANTISM AND (IN)EQUALITIES: THEOLOGICAL RESOURCES FOR JUSTICE AND MERCY
03/07/2026 15:00 - 18:20
HALL: Pola - A203

Contact: Ibrahim D.

Chair: Ibrahim D.

This open panel explores how Protestant traditions can offer theological resources to name, resist, and heal contemporary (in)equalities. The panel will invite critical and constructive engagement with key loci, such as creation and the imago Dei, sin and structural evil, justification and dignity, sanctification and social holiness, vocation and labor, the diaconate and mercy, the protection of the vulnerable, and eschatological hope as a horizon for public witness. The conversation will be intentionally hospitable to a range of Protestant perspectives. We welcome papers that retrieve historical Protestant figures, classical Protestant sources, engage global and minoritized Protestant voices, or test Protestant moral claims in concrete contexts such as migration, poverty, war, disability, education, and incarceration.
