Lies My Preacher Told Me: An Honest Look at the Old Testament

This webinar took place on July 29, 2020. Watch the recording below, or check out our other Past Webinars to catch up on any you may have missed!

About the Webinar:

In this webinar, Brent discusses his forthcoming book, Lies My Preacher Told Me: An Honest Look at the Old Testament (Westminster John Knox, January 2021) which covers 10 mistruths about the Old Testament that are common among Christians, whether lay or ordained. Have you ever thought that the Old Testament is hyper-violent, practically irrelevant or devoid of spiritually enriching material? Those are actually not true! Another mistruth Brent will discuss is “What Really Matters is that ‘Everything Is About Jesus.’” If you’ve ever had questions about the Old Testament as Christian Scripture, this webinar is for you!

About Brent A. Strawn:

Brent A. Strawn joined the Duke Divinity School faculty in 2019 and has a secondary appointment at the Duke University School of Law. Before that, he taught at Asbury Theological Seminary for three years and then, for eighteen years, at the Candler School of Theology at Emory University, where he was the William Ragsdale Cannon Distinguished Professor of Old Testament. Strawn has published over two hundred articles, chapters in books, contributions to reference works, and reviews. Recent works include The Old Testament Is Dying: A Diagnosis and Recommended Treatment (Baker Academic, 2017) and The Old Testament: A Concise Introduction (Routledge, 2019). Strawn is an ordained elder in the North Georgia Conference of The United Methodist Church and regularly speaks and preaches at churches across the country. He has appeared on CNN on matters ranging from Easter celebrations to Pope Francis to gun violence, and served as both translator and member of the editorial board for The Common English Bible.
