With Mariam Kamell Kovalishyn
Please join us for the launch of The New Testament around the World: Exploring Key Texts from Different Contexts. Dr. Mariam Kamell Kovalishyn will share the benefits of reading in community, introduce several of the book’s contributors, and engage in an interactive dialogue with them as they reflect together on the intersection of biblical and cultural exegesis. The dialogue will be followed by a Q&A and a book signing with Mariam in the bookstore.
