I received the following news release that will interest some of you:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Spend a Friday Afternoon with Margaret Barker in Provo<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

On October 12, Margret Barker will be here for a brief visit in Provo. She will speak at 2:00 pm, Friday afternoon here on BYU campus, in the J. Reuben Clark Law School, room 303 JRCB. Her topic will be \u201cCreation Theology, Temple, and the Environment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Others responding or participating will include George Handley, Jacob Rennaker, David Larsen, Jack Welch, Brigham Daniels, and others. Following the presentations, there will be time for questions and discussion, concluding around 4:00 or 4:30.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

This event is sponsored by BYU Studies, the BYU Ancient Near Eastern Studies program, and the Utah Temple Studies Group. Please feel free to spread the word about this personal opportunity to catch Dr. Barker following her visit at Utah State University on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The event is free and open to the public. It will not be streamed live on the internet, but it may be recorded for future distribution or publication. Her previous scholarly publications are widely known and include articles in BYU Studies Quarterly<\/em> and her speech at the 2005 Joseph Smith Bicentennial Celebration in the Library of Congress.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested, and if you want to read some pieces by Dr. Barker, a prolific British Methodist biblical scholar, in preparation for her visit, here are some recommendations. \u00a0But you\u2019re obviously welcome to attend her lecture and the associated responses whether you\u2019ve done any background reading or not<\/em>:<\/p>\n
