Philippians with George Guthrie: Lecture and Book Launch
This event has now ended. Please view this page to see all our upcoming events.
Join us in the chapel for a public lecture from Professor of New Testament George Guthrie. We'll also be celebrating the launch of George's new commentary on Philippians, part of the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary Series.
About the Lecture
In his lecture, titled "How a Narrative Poem Saves the World: The Beauty, Power & Message of Philippians 2:6–11," George will look at one of the most loved and most researched passages in all of Scripture. He will consider the literary artistry that shapes the poem and offer a fresh analysis of the Old Testament background behind its word pictures. Finally, George will turn to the poem’s theological message and practical implications for life in the world and the church today.
Update: This event will be available onsite only. Can't join us in person? Click here to hear George discuss another recent book of his, A Short Guide to Reading the Bible Better.
