Richard Hays in Twin Cities - April 12

George Washington Ivey Professor of New Testament, Dr. Richard B. Hays, internationally recognized for his work on the letters of Paul and on New Testament ethics, will be coming to Minneapolis, MN on April 12 to give a lecture entitled Turning the World Upside Down: Israel's Scripture in Luke-Acts. It will be held on the campus of the University of Minnesota, Fraser Hall, at 7:00 PM, and is both free and open to the public.

Some of you will know that Dr. Hays is the author of many distinguished works, including The Faith of Jesus Christ: The Narrative Substructure of Galatians 3:1-4:11 (The Biblical Resource Series), which argues for a subjective genitive in the “faith of Christ” language. Denny Burk provides a brief review of this important book. [Note: I have not read The Faith of Jesus Christ, and -- for the sake of full disclosure -- find the objective genitive arguments more convincing.]

Update: I should have mentioned that this lecture is being sponsored by the MacLaurin Institute.
