A Half-Day Seminar with Scot McKnight

 
Wednesday, Sept 29, 2010  |  9 a.m. to noon
George Fox Evangelical Seminary (Room 155)
Optional roundtable lunch available

Scott McKnight

Why are there so many differences between how we "evangelize" and how the apostles evangelized? Do we need to re-examine the meaning of "gospel"? Did Jesus preach the gospel or were the apostles the first to preach the gospel? How important is the cross to the gospel? What place does the resurrection have in our gospel and our evangelism? These and other questions will be discussed at the seminary's upcoming Ministry in Contemporary Culture Seminar.

Scot McKnight is a widely recognized authority on the New Testament, early Christianity, and the historical Jesus. He is the Karl A. Olsson Professor in Religious Studies at North Park University in Chicago. A popular and witty speaker, McKnight has given interviews on radios across the nation, has appeared on television, and is regularly asked to speak in local churches and educational events throughout the world.

His most recent books are The Blue Parakeet: Rethinking How You Read the Bible and Fasting. He is presently researching “gospel” in the earliest Christian communities.
