Sunday Service with Dr. Ellen Davis Preaching

At our service this Sunday, August 6, at 11:00 a.m., we welcome as our guest preacher, Dr. Ellen Davis. She is the Amos Ragan Kearns Distinguished Professor of Bible and Practical Theology at Duke Divinity School and a member of the Duke Chapel National Advisory Board. The author of eleven books and many articles, Dr. Davis's research interests focus on how biblical interpretation bears on the life of faith communities and their response to urgent public issues, particularly the ecological crisis and interfaith relations. Her book Scripture, Culture, and Agriculture: An Agrarian Reading of the Bible integrates biblical studies with a critique of industrial agriculture and food production. Biblical Prophecy: Perspectives for Christian Theology, Discipleship and Ministry explores the prophetic role and word across both Testaments of the Christian Bible. Her most recent books are Preaching the Luminous Word, a collection of her sermons and essays, and Opening Israel’s Scriptures, a comprehensive theological reading of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. A lay Episcopalian, she has long been active as a theological consultant within the Anglican Communion. Her current work explores the arts as modes of scriptural interpretation.
