Scriptural Foundations:
The Gospels
Wednesdays, March 26, April 2, 9, and 16
6-7:15 p.m., Crail C
St. David’s Scriptural Foundations is a two-year certificate program that provides an in-depth exploration of the Old and New Testaments considering their historical contexts, literary characteristics, and relevance for today.
Starting on March 26, Dr. Brent Landau, lecturer in religious studies at the University of Texas at Austin, will lead a class exploring how the Book of Acts chronicles the spread of Christianity after the death and resurrection of Jesus. Emphasis will be given to the inclusive nature of the Christian message, and the missionary journeys of the Apostle Paul.
