Date of Lecture: March 19, 2015
About the Speaker: Rev. Luc Bonaventure Amoussou, S.J., is an at 17³Ô¹ÏÍø for the spring 2015 semester. Originally from Benin and the West Africa Province, he recently earned his Ph.D. in biblical studies at University of St. Michael's College, Toronto. His studies focus on the intersection of religion and politics.
About the Talk: Amoussou takes a closer look at a popular proverb long used to support the idea of separation of Church and State: "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." (Matthew, 22:21) What was the true intent of Jesus' words 2,000 years ago? Are they an apt defense for the modern dichotomy between religion and politics?
