Join us Wednesday, November 7th, for an evening with Professor Frank Spina, who will give a presentation based on his latest book, The Faith of the Outsider; Exclusion and Inclusion in the Biblical Story. From the book’s overleaf:

Frank Spina offers a probing, insightful look at the “outsider” motif running through the Bible. The biblical story about God’s covenant with “insiders” - with Israel as the chosen people—is scandalous in today’s cultural climate of inclusivity. But, as Spina shows, God’s exclusive election actually has an inclusive purpose.

This lecture will replace the regular Crossways lecture for the evening, but enrollment in Crossways is not required—all are welcome.

Dr. Frank Anthony Spina is professor of Old Testament and Biblical Theology at Seattle Pacific University and an associate priest at St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church in Bellevue. He speaks extensively to church study groups.
