| FOA Webinar: Textual & Visual Portrayals of Israel’s God on 8/29 |
The next webinar in our monthly series is on August 29, at 7:30 pm EDT, featuring Prof. Theodore Lewis and "From Standing Stones to Sacred Emptiness: Textual and Visual Portrayals of Israel's God." Portrayals of divinity are incredibly complex as they are culturally, sociologically, politically and theologically contingent. Asking the simple question about how ancient Israelites and Judeans portrayed God (i.e. El and Yahweh) turns into a historical puzzle, interacting with a wide variety of ancient writers and artisans on how they conceptualized divinity. This webinar will sift through both visual (archaeological) and textual narratives as they have diverse functions and/or audiences and reflect different kinds of literacies. Register and pay here. Price is $5 for ASOR members and $10 for non-members. All proceeds will support membership scholarships and online resources.
