Theology of Memes Sunday, May 12, 10 a.m., Chapel What is a meme? Why do we love them so much? What does our love for memes say about us as a society? Join Dr. Daniel Somboonsiri as he takes us through a brief, meme-filled tour of the history of art and theology to examine what memes say about postmodern life with its myriad and seemingly meaningless barrage of meaning. Is life, like our memes, increasingly absurd, or can a theology of memes help us navigate the absurdity around us? Theology of Culture Sunday, May 19, 10 a.m., Chapel We want to bring our understanding of God into our culture, but to do so we need to consider what culture even is from a biblical and theological perspective. Dr. Daniel Somboonsiri will present a biblical theology of culture and then provide a theological framework for engaging contemporary culture.
