Join us for a discussion with Dr. Pineda-Madrid's whose lecture will explore how disciples of Jesus Christ must denounce and subvert this evil, finding in Pope Francis’ writings a source to encourage Christian hope through the subversion of evil. Ultimately, she claims that the subversion of this evil will enable us to see more clearly the goodness of God in the land of the living, that is, salvation.
Nancy Pineda-Madrid, PhD holds the T. Marie Chilton Chair of Catholic Theology at Loyola Marymount University. She has published two monographs, Suffering and Salvation in Ciudad Juárez, the first book to offer a theological interpretation of suffering and salvation in light the tragic killing of women known as feminicide, and her more recent book, Theologizing in an Insurgent Key: Violence, Women, Salvation which further develops groundwork for a reinterpretation of salvation in the shadow of violence against women. She is President-Elect of the Catholic Theological Society of America and former president of the Academy of Catholic Hispanic Theologians of the United States.
