Dr. J. Alexander Sider, associate professor of religion and Harry and Jean Yoder Scholar in Bible and Religion, will present the Colloquium, “If 'God Obviously Makes No Difference to the Universe,' then ‘What Is the Point of Being a Christian?’” on Jan. 27. 

The title of the presentation combines quotes from two Dominican theologians, Herbert McCabe and Timothy Radcliffe, both who have affected Sider’s thinking on the relationship between God and the world. 

His presentation is free and open to the public beginning at 4 p.m. in Centennial Hall’s Stutzman Lecture Hall.
