02/06/2024 07:00 PM 02/06/2024 09:00 PM America/Boise Town and Gown Lecture How do we understand the awful violence of the gospel story of the Massacre of the Innocents (Matthew 2: 16-18)? Why did plays, paintings, and stories depicting the slaughter of Bethlehem's babies by King Herod's soldiers multiply across Europe in the fifteenth century, often conveyed with an extraordinary brutality that still takes our breath away? Some saw the deaths of these children as a betrayal by rulers, governments, fathers, and even by God. We'll explore how their anger and anxiety shifted from medieval into the early modem period and how it continues to resonate today.Event LinksWebsite: https://go.evvnt.com/2205608-0 Details & Tickets: https://www.upcomingevents.com/tucson/events/environment-and-natural-resources-2-building/town-and-gown-lecture-171101?ref=uceaddevent Environment and Natural Resources 2 Building, 1064 East Lowell Street, Tucson, AZ, 85719
