Scripture & Ministry
Theology and ministry often seem like disparate endeavors, even though they share many of the same overarching goals. As this series’ title suggests, these lectures feature distinguished Christian speakers working at the intersection of theology and practical ministry. They aim to bring these two disciplines together, simultaneously drawing ministers and scholars into community with each other.
