What does it mean to read the Bible “for the sake of the world?” How might the biblical word give shape to Christian life? These questions will be addressed by two preeminent Old Testament scholars, Dr. Walter Brueggemann and Dr. Terry Fretheim, as they explore the theme of the 2009 Mid-Winter Convocation, Engaging Scripture for the Sake of the World.
Evening entertainment will be provided by Greg Mortenson, motivational speaker and author of “Three Cups of Tea.” Visit www.luthersem.edu/threecupsoftea for more information.
Last year’s Convocation hosted more than 500 rostered and lay church leaders. Attendees gained ideas to develop, nurture and affirm the calling to bring Scripture to their congregations.
