2023 theological symposium, intellectual hospitality
Description
Anthony Thiselton once rightly remarked that “too often we attack or defend before we have genuinely understood.” If there is any quote that sums up the current state of discourse in the world today it is that one. The practice of extending intellectual hospitality is sorely needed in public and private discourse, both inside and outside the church. By observing the work of Martin Hans Franzmann, Lutherans can understand practically what intellectual hospitality is and why it matters publicly, privately, ecclesiastically and academically. This presentation will contextualize instances of humility and the extension of intellectual hospitality displayed in Franzmann’s ecclesiastical and academic work. It will explore the concept of intellectual hospitality and make an appeal, influenced by Franzmann, for the proliferation of this practice.
