Pastor Professor Exchange |
The Pastor Professor Exchange was created in 2018 as a way to connect churches to Redeemer University. We wanted to create a space for meaningful dialogue on campus and provide the opportunity for pastors and church leaders to hear from exceptional Christian scholars on relevant topics for the church today.

Topic |
Authoritarianism is leaving few untouched as strongman leaders are becoming more prevalent worldwide and concerns around abuse of power are permeating more and more churches. The personality cults that dominate populist politics today—and are increasingly thriving among people of faith—are suggesting to us that there is an innate driving force that underlies our attraction to dominant leaders. Could the biblical story of Israel already hold keys to explaining this phenomenon?
Join Dr. Raymond Chiu, assistant professor of business, for the 2024 Pastor Professor Exchange as he draws upon nearly a decade of research to deconstruct how our God-given moral psychology can be misused in such a way that we make idols out of human rulers. Understanding the root of this challenge will help us grasp tangible ways to build healthy church cultures that are protected from this harmful blind spot. |
