SUNDAY MORNING ADULT EDUCATION RESUMES SEPTEMBER 12

This fall we begin a new video-discussion series: Great Figures of the New Testament. Taught

by Dr. Amy-Jill Levine from Vanderbilt University Divinity School, this series promises vivid

portraits of shepherds and kings, friends and enemies, evangelists and martyrs. Dr. Levine

looks at how these great figures have been interpreted by historians and artists, theologians at

their desks, and worshipers in the pew.

Perhaps the best part of this compelling series on the New Testament's most colorful characters

is that you will gain a feel for why these individuals remain dynamic, commanding presences.

Included are John the Baptist; Joseph & Mary; James & John; Martha, Mary, & Lazarus;

“Doubting” Thomas; the Good Samaritan & the Prodigal Son; the Samaritan Woman; Mary Magdalene;

Stephen; Philip; Peter & Paul; Jesus; and other important figures.

You are welcome to attend whenever you are able. This video-discussion series presupposes

only a very general familiarity with the Bible’s major figures and themes. There will be optional

readings from the New Testament to help prepare for each class.

Johnson, or class facilitator Tom Kirkpatrick.
