The Scripture and Hermeneutics Seminar continues its multiyear project exploring difficult texts as Christian Scripture. The focus for 2026 is Joshua and Judges. Our question is: How do Joshua and Judges form and shape us into the people God is calling us to be in Christ?
Join us for our second of three online events to consider questions of intertextuality / reception history in these fascinating books. We’ll enjoy two short presentations from Grant LeMarquand and Don Springer.
There will likely be a short time for Q&A within the hour, followed by an additional 15 mins for those who are able to stay beyond the hour.
Wednesday June 10, 2026
2pm (MDT), 4pm (EDT), 9pm (BST), 6am (Sydney, June 11).
