Listen to and learn from scholars from diverse backgrounds and cultural experiences who provided exegetical expertise and unique interpretive lenses to The New Testament in Color: A Multiethnic Bible Commentary (IVP Academic, 2024). 

Too often Bible commentaries have focused on the particular concerns of a limited segment of the church, missing fresh questions and insights that are fruitful for biblical interpretation. Gathering wisdom from a wider range of scholars offers us an opportunity to explore the Bible more deeply and more faithfully as global, multicultural people of faith. This conversation will introduce the book as a whole and engage panelists on insights from the project that relate to preaching and other practices of public worship, including the Lord’s Supper and public prayer.

Since 2015 they’ve been on a journey of seasonal engagement through which they have lovingly harvested almost two hundred songs, dozens of original artworks, and other liturgical produce. In this workshop you will hear from a variety of growers who sow and reap in West Michigan in various soils and sediments.
