Description

Garwood Anderson speaks St. John the Divine as part of the Sumners Lecture Series. Topic: The Revelation of St. John: A Message for End Times, for Our Time, or for All Time? Join us for a Sumners Lecture by Garwood Anderson, Dean of and Professor of New Testament at Nashotah House, on Revelation. No book of the Bible evokes a more extreme set of reactions than Revelation. Some are obsessed with it; many are confused by it; most get by without it! In this overview of the book, we will show that its meaning is not behind or beyond us but is an urgent message needed for the Church in every time and place, not least for us here and now. The talk will be followed by a reception in the Parlor. About Garwood Anderson: Garwood Anderson has been a member of the Nashotah House faculty since 2007 and has served as Dean since 2017. Before going to Nashotah House, Anderson was on the faculty of Asbury Theological Seminary (Orlando, FL, campus) from 2002 to 2007. He has also taught as a visiting professor at Bethel Theological Seminary, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Reformed Theological Seminary, and the West African Theological Seminary in Lagos, Nigeria. Prior to his academic career, he served for seventeen years on the campus staff of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship (1984-2001), where he ministered on numerous college campuses, including as the Divisional Director for Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, for eleven years. A committed teacher and frequent retreat speaker, Anderson was recognized with Asbury Theological Seminary’s 2006-2007 Excellence in Teaching and Learning Award.
