<\/strong>The Bible, Race, and the Art of Ambivalence: a Cambodian-American Lutheran Reading (open to all members of the St. Olaf community)<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Drawing on his lived experience as a Cambodian-American and his training as a New Testament scholar, Kristofer Coffman ’13 explores how the intersection of post-colonial theory and Lutheran theology can lead to productive conversation on the Bible and race. Bringing together the concept of ambivalence and the Lutheran doctrine of sin, he reflects his own experience at St. Olaf and the ways in which the college\u2019s Lutheran identity can help it generate a more equitable future.<\/p>\n

After receiving his MDiv at Luther Seminary, St. Paul, he began his PhD work in the Classical and Near Eastern Studies Department at the University of Minnesota, where he is currently writing his thesis.
