In this lecture, Bjarne Zinck Winther connects current international and geopolitical developments with theological perspectives on human nature, conflict, power and world order. The aim is not to offer political answers but to encourage reflection on how such perspectives can help us understand the political world.
The evening covers great-power rivalry, the war in Ukraine, the UN and international cooperation, and global tensions. It also takes up questions of hope, pessimism and responsibility in a time marked by uncertainty and change. The talk moves the gaze from the local, from the parish and the country, out towards the world as a whole.
