Easter Conference w/Dr. Fleming

"Christ the Good Shepherd"

March 22-24, 2010

Join Dr. Fleming for an educational and inspirational examination of the teachings and actions of Jesus on the disciples’ journey to Jerusalem and during Holy Week. We will examine the ways Jesus tried to prepare them for what happened when he was arrested and the flock fled. We will also discuss the characteristics, attitudes, and functions of both good and bad shepherds in light of the trial narratives. Other major biblical texts about shepherding, including Psalm 23, will be illustrated. This conference will include a walk in the museum’s archaeological garden following the verses of Psalm 23, as well as a Biblical Meal.  For more information and to register for this conference please call 706-885-0363.
