Upcoming Lecture: Exodus and Revolution
Presented by Dr. Ralph K. Hawkins
The story of the Exodus has long been recognized as one of the Bible's most powerful narratives of freedom, justice, and deliverance. During America's founding era, the Bible was cited more frequently than any other source, and among its books, Exodus and Deuteronomy had an especially profound influence on the political thought of the Colonists and the nation's founders.
Join Dr. Ralph K. Hawkins for an engaging lecture exploring how the Book of Exodus shaped American ideas about liberty, government, and revolution from the Colonial period through the founding of the United States. This thought-provoking program examines the biblical foundations that influenced the nation's earliest political ideals and the enduring legacy of Exodus in American history.
Dr. Ralph K. Hawkins (Ph.D., Andrews University) is Executive Director of the Institute for Biblical Exploration and an adjunct professor of Old Testament at Trinity Anglican Seminary in Ambridge, Pennsylvania. He is the author of several books, including Discovering Exodus: Content, Interpretation, Reception.
This program is ideal for anyone interested in American history, biblical studies, political thought, or the intellectual origins of the United States.
Free and open to the public.
