Class: Reading Scripture Like an Artist (Virtual)
March 19 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
(Zoom only; led by the Rev’d Dr. Roger Ferlo)
The Rev’d Dr. Roger Ferlo takes us on a tour of the Visual Commentary on Scripture as we explore the often surprising ways that painters, sculptors, and architects have interpreted Scripture through the visual imagination.
Sessions will be fully participatory, both in plenary sessions and in small breakout groups. You need no experience in art, art history, or Scriptural interpretation to participate—just an open mind, an open heart, a willingness to listen to your neighbor… and a Zoom connection!
