Description
“These Stones Will Shout”
A newly endowed annual lecture on biblical archeology and historical geography will debut this fall at the Seminary. The lecture will be presented by Dr. Jodi Magness, the Kenan Distinguished Professor for Teaching Excellence in Early Judaism in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. During her presentation, “Jerusalem in the Time of Jesus,” Magness will survey the history and archaeology of Jerusalem in the Late Second Temple period ending with the city’s destruction by the Romans in 70 C.E. The lecture will focus especially on Herod’s reconstruction of the Second Temple and sites related to Jesus’s final hours on earth. The lecture is free and open to the public.
