“His work is in the same class as our nation’s most famous Old Testament scholar, Walter Brueggemann,” according to Kirk Baker, the pastor at Williamson Presbyterian. “His approach is different, but his knowledge and understanding are equal, his application to current life is just as helpful and challenging, and both share a deep faith that adds urgency to their readings.”If you would like more information about this event, please call the Red Brick Church at 589-8260.
