Description

The Lanier Theological Library is inviting scholars and patrons to a free panel discussion on Friday, March 3, 2023, from 2:00 - 3:30 pm, in our Stone Chapel. This panel discussion precedes the library's lecture on Saturday night by Havilah Dharamraj. Registration for the Saturday lecture is separate from this event. "Reading the Bible with the Majority World"When we read the Bible, we bring more to the task than simply our ability to read. We bring our assumptions, our dispositions, our emotions, our wants, needs, and desires. Plus, we bring our western culture. As a result, sometimes we misread the Bible because we are viewing it through the wrong lenses. As the center of Christian culture moves south to the majority world—South America, Africa, and Asia—we are realizing that our brothers and sisters from other parts of the world read the Bible differently and experience the Spirit uniquely. In this panel we will gather scholars, pastors, and missionaries who have read the Bible with Christians from Asia, Africa, Indonesia, and Latin America. What you learn will surprise you. This 90-minute session on Friday will feature a panel made up of these distinguished participants: Havilah Dharamraj (Head of Department of Biblical Studies, South Asia Institute of Advanced Christian Studies, Bangalore, India.) Dean Flemming (Professor Emeritus of New Testament and Missions, Mid-America Nazarene University, Olathe, KS) Gene Green (Emeritus Professor of New Testament, Wheaton College, IL) Randy Richards (Former Provost and Professor of New Testament, Palm Beach Atlantic University, West Palm Beach, FL) Mark Lanier (Moderator - J.D. Trial Attorney, Bible Teacher, Author, and Founder of Lanier Law Firm & Lanier Theological Library, Houston, TX) We invite you to attend this panel as an opportunity to expand your knowledge, contribute to the discussion, connect with other attendees and explore this library. You are welcome to extend this invitation to other people you think would be interested. Seating is limited, so please register for this event as soon as possible.
