Popu­list Features of the New Testa­ment

Gastvortrag
25. November 2026, 18:30 – 20:00 ical

Popu­lism is a signi­fi­cant feature of poli­tical life in the 21st century. The New Testa­ment (NT) has a part to play in the rise of popu­lism in the West, insofar as it is discur­si­vely used by popu­list leaders as a shared system of signi­fi­ca­tion in the construc­tion of a "­peo­ple".

Bruce Worthington, Assistant Professor of New Testament at The Chinese University of Hong Kong

I address features of populism in the ancient world, particularly those features which are found in the NT, suggesting that the New Testament provides a discursive basis for constructing populist identity then and now.
