"God Is Already Speaking Then"

October 17, 2010 - Dr. Walter Brueggemann

This presentation will explore the dynamics of interpretation that take place within the Bible itself. The outcome of such pluralism in interpretation in the Bible witnesses against the absolutism of much current theological contention, liberal and conservative.

Dr. Brueggemann is Professor Emeritus of Old Testament at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, GA. He has authored more than 58 books, hundreds of articles, and several commentaries on books of the Bible. He participated in Bill Moyers' 1990s PBS television series on Genesis. Due to the popularity of this sought-after speaker, this event requires a larger venue and will be held at: Shepherd of the Hills Congregational United Church of Christ, 5524 East Lafayette Blvd., Phoenix Az. 85018. This is an event you won't want to miss - $20 p/person - click here and sign up today!
