Presentation: "Getting Involved with God" by Dr Ellen Davis

Join us as we kick off our adult education sessions in the new year with an amazing opportunity! One of Pastor Jen and Jacob's favorite books is "Getting Involved with God: Rediscovering the Old Testament" by Dr. Ellen Davis. It is an inspiring portrait of the beauty of the Hebrew Scriptures. The Pastors reached out to Dr. Davis and asked if she would participate in a Q&A session led by the Pastors to help all of us fall in love with the Old Testament. And she said, "Yes!" This is a session not to be missed!
Ellen F. Davis is Amos Ragan Kearns Distinguished Professor of Bible and Practical Theology at Duke Divinity School. The author of eleven books and many articles, her research interests focus on how biblical interpretation bears on the life of faith communities and their response to urgent public issues, particularly the ecological crisis and interfaith relations. Her most recent books are Preaching the Luminous Word (Eerdmans, 2016), a collection of her sermons and essays, and Opening Israel’s Scriptures (Oxford, 2019), a comprehensive theological reading of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament.
A lay Episcopalian, she has long been active as a theological consultant within the Anglican Communion. Her current work explores the arts as modes of scriptural interpretation.
