Join us as Dr. Walton discusses the nature of covenant and Torah in the Old Testament, and how those inherent ideas bridge across to the New Covenant. In the process we will give attention to the prominent values of relationship and divine presence, and will open up new avenues of thinking regarding divine kingship, Torah, and holiness.
This class is free and open to the community, but space is limited and registration is required. We hope you'll join us for what is bound to be a fascinating lecture from Dr. John Walton!
John H. Walton (Ph.D. Hebrew Union College) is Professor of Old Testament Emeritus at Wheaton College and Graduate School where he taught for twenty-two years.
