翻译的 的消息 Will Speak at SPU

西雅图,华盛顿州 ——牧师. Eugene Peterson, Bible translator of the award-winning book 的消息 and 西雅图 Pacific University alumnus, will speak on Thursday, October 20, at 7 p.m. in Royal Brougham. In his lecture titled "St. Mark: The Basic Text for Christian Spirituality," he will explore the importance of Scripture in spiritual formation.   

的消息 was directly translated from the Greek and Hebrew texts, and designed to be a reading bible rather than a study Bible. Each of the 66 books has an introduction by Peterson, and there are no verse numbers to interrupt the flow of the passages. The book was the winner of the “Gold Medallion Book Award” in 2003.

Aside from writing, Peterson is also a pastor, scholar, professor, and poet. In 1962, he was a founding pastor of Christ Our King Presbyterian Church in Bel Air, 马里兰, where he served for 29 years. He then became professor of spiritual theology at Regent College in Vancouver, British Columbia. Today, he is professor emeritus at Regent.

The event is free and open to the public. Free parking is available in Crawford, Ross, and Dravus parking lots. Royal Brougham Pavilion is wheelchair accessible. The lecture will be recorded and available through SPU的iTunesU. You could also follow a discussion of the conference on Twitter at #saf11.
