GOOD THEOLOGY FOR GOD’S WORLD is a series of evening public lectures and daytime workshops on theological topics designed to get you thinking and acting for the good of God’s World. This is the second session at United Churches of Langley in Murrayville.
Four Gospels, Many Resurrections
Rev. Dr Harry Maier
Professor of New Testament & Early Christian Studies
Christians place at the centre of their faith the resurrection of Jesus and look to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John for information about it. This course considers the resurrection stories in the Gospels as well as other parts of the New Testament in the larger context of each writer’s story about Jesus. You will have the opportunity to reflect on both what the resurrection meant for the first followers of Jesus and what it means for us today.
We invite you to register for the workshop that will be taking place on Saturday, March 14, 2020, from 10am to 3pm.
· Register online at www.vst.edu/vst-academy
· Registration Fee: $25
· Refreshments provided. Lunch available for $12, collected at the workshop. Please RSVP when registering.
