Edmund Janzen Lectureship in Biblical Studies

Date(s):

Event category: Presentations and Lectures

Join us for the annual Edmund Janzen Lectureship in Biblical Studies, Thursday, March 31 - Friday, April 1, 2022. This year, we are pleased to welcome Lynn Jost, Ph.D., professor of preaching and Old Testament at FPU Seminary , as our 2022 lecturer. 

This year’s Edmund Janzen Lectureship is focused on the the question of justice in ancient and modern contexts. “Justice” is a provocative, disputed and politicized term in contemporary society—just as it was in the biblical world. Biblical (particularly in the Hebrew Bible) justice not only prioritizes policies to protect the marginalized but includes them among God’s people through covenant stipulations and story-telling.
