Annual Edersheim Lecture
I thought the chance to hear Paul Barnett might be of interest to our readers. What is the Annual Edersheim Lecture? According to the organisers:
Alfred Edersheim was born into a Jewish family in Vienna in 1825. He was a well-known Jewish Christian scholar who engaged in pastoral and missionary ministry in Scotland, Romania and England. He authored many books, some of which are considered classics and still in print, most notably The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah. We wish to follow in his footsteps, hence the concern of this annual lecture is to examine themes relating to the Jewish people and the Christian faith. This time we hope to learn the lessons for today from the problems of the past.
Speaker: Rev Dr Paul Barnett
