Based on Dr. Walker’s book A Theology of the Drug War (2019), this lecture will be a political and theological reflection on the violence and injustice that has taken place in Mexico and Central America since 2006 as a result of the drug war. In order to understand and respond to this conflict in the age of globalization, Dr. Walker presents a theology of the drug war that transcends both a Eurocentric conception of the world and a merely political account of salvation.

Dr. Walker serves as Director of Vocation at Christ Church in Austin TX and is a lecturer in theology and ethics at Baylor University and Truett Theological Seminary. He received his PhD in philosophy of religion and theology from Claremont Graduate University and his MDiv from Truett Seminary. His research interests include political theology, economic ethics, and postcolonial studies.

Dinner is at 6, followed by Dr. Walker’s lecture at 7.
