This week on DEI Today, I am joined by Professor Larry Wellborn to discuss how diversity and inclusion are addressed in the Bible. Dr. Wellborn provides a foundation of how diversity, equity, and inclusion are presented in early Christianity and Roman History, and how specific passages within the Bible encourage a diverse and inclusive point of view. Dr. Wellborn dives into specific passages in Galatians, Romans, and 1 Corinthians provides insight into the originally intended context.
