Christian Identity in an Age of “Identity Politics”

There is a lot of talk about ”identity politics” these days. Generally speaking, this term is used to describe how people are united for political causes with their ethnicity or lived experience as the common denominator. Most often this relates to such concepts as race, culture, language, and religion. But how should we as Christians relate to such movements? In this seminar we look at phenomena such as neo-Marxism, Black Lives Matters, and the LGBTQ movement through the lense of New Testament’s teaching about the Christian life.
