Lynn Cohick, Beth Allison Barr & Lissa Wray Beal: Christian Women in History – Ancient & Modern

Join us on Wednesdays during this year’s Summer Programs to enjoy conversations with members of our summer faculty. The professors and topics are different each week, so there’s always something new to explore.

TOPIC

This week, you’re invited to a roundtable conversation with historian Beth Allison Barr, New Testament scholar Lynn H. Cohick, and Old Testament scholar Lissa Wray Beal. The three of them will discuss the vital but oft-forgotten contributions of women through the history of Christianity. Join us at noon in Room 100, and feel free to bring your lunch.
