(TN 833: ARCHAEOLOGY AND CHRISTIAN ORIGINS IN ANCIENT EPHESUS)

The heart of the course will be a 10 day travel seminar (over Spring Break, March 6 - March 16, 2014) to ancient Ephesus and other archaeological sites in the region in order to examine and reflect upon the city's extant material culture.  

Ephesus will serve as our primary classroom though the class will meet several times in preparation for the trip over spring break. Interested students should email Lisa M. Straus (lstraus@bu.edu), the class TA, indicating your name, your degree program, how far along you are in your degree program, and how the trip would enhance your degree and/or your future career plans. Enrollment preference will be given to advanced students.

The Dead Sea Scrolls, which include some of the earliest known surviving manuscripts of works later included in the Hebrew Bible, are currently on exhibit at the Museum of Science until October 20.  Dr. Marc Brettler, the Dora Golding Professor of Biblical Studies at Brandeis University, will join us to provide a greater understanding of the significance of these ancient documents for both Jews and Christians. Dr. Brettler is widely recognized as a master teacher, and was one of the co-editors of the New Oxford Annotated Bible. He will be available to sign copies of his books following the lecture.  Trinitychurchboston.org

A Year of the Bible:  Exploring the Great Story, Probing the Great Questions

The Bible is a wonderfully deep and rich-and oftentimes-mysterious story: the story of God creating, redeeming, and sustaining us, a story of hope. From September 2013 through June 2014, we are going to read the great stories of our faith found in the Old Testament.  Through weekly classes for adults, children and youth; readings and blog posts; discussions and small group gatherings, we will explore the God who is the Bible's main character, while we wrestle together with the big questions raised in Scripture, like:

"Where did we come from?"

"If God is good, why is there evil and suffering?"

"Why pray?"

"What does God want for all people, really?"

Join us for what is sure to be a great adventure!  More information @  www.trinitychurchboston.org/learning/year-of-the-bible
