25th
Anniversary
The Farstrup-Mortensen lectures
are lovingly dedicated to the memory of two men, A. Ejnar Farstrup
(1909-1984) and Enok Mortensen (1902-1984) whose vision and energy
strongly influenced Danish-American church life. Pastors and
educators, they exemplified the Grundtvigian ideal of developing one's
humanity, including the intellect, to its fullest and best extent in
order to be receptive to the Word of God.

THE REAL JESUS

pm (including lunch break)

Who was the historical Jesus and
how did he relate to the social and political issues of his time? What were his
attitudes toward nature, the economy, war and peace? What does Jesus have to do
with justice and politics today?

University and Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Loyola University Chicago. He
