Free Lecture on Paul's Life and Letters, Thursday (July 11)

[00:00:00] Free lecture on Paul's life and letters Thursday, July 11 by Bart D. Ehrman, read by John Paul Middlesworth I will be giving a free remote lecture this Thursday, July 11 at 01:00 p.m. eastern Standard Time. You are welcome to come. Sorry about the time, but I'm in England and so it'll be evening here. [00:00:21] The lecture is designed to be a lead in to the annual new insights into the New Testament conference that will be happening September 21 and 22nd. The conference will feature ten speakers who will each give a 50 minutes talk with Q and A on all topics of speakers choice connected with the life and letters of Paul. The talks will all be geared to a general audience at about the level we address things here on the blog and in my online courses at www.barturmon.com. [00:00:51] the speakers are some of the top Pauline scholars in the cosmos. We haven't announced the conference yet, but will soon with instructions about how to register, etcetera. Whoever registers for it will receive a recording of my Thursday lecture for free. In it I will be presenting basic background into Paul to help get everyone up to speed for the conference itself. [00:01:13] Ill deal with our sources of information, their problems, Pauls biography, especially his conversion and mission, and some of the major issues that still perplex Pauline scholars who spend their careers thinking about such things. I'm offering the live lecture to gold and platinum blog members and to folk who are ardent fans of our online courses. It will last about 50 minutes, I should think, and I'll take live questions. I'm not sure yet if they will be on the version we released to those who sign up for the conference. Megan Lewis of Misquoting Jesus podcast fame will be moderating the lecture. If you're interested, the Zoom link is available on the online blog. Subscribe.
