Genesis: An Overview Presentation

In the spirit of the global nature of the Genesis study, we will kick off the study with a guest speaker, The Rev. Dr. Joel Heck, who will come to us live from Austin, TX.Dr. Heck will not actually be here in North Ridgeville, but rather streamed live from Concordia University, Austin. Dr. Heck will give a one-hour overview of the book, followed by a question and answer session.

The Rev. Dr. Joel D. Heck teaches courses in Old Testament, New Testament, Reformation, and the life and writings of C. S. Lewis at Concordia University Texas. He holds the Doctor of Theology from Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. He is the author or editor of ten books, most recently a textbook of introduction to the Old Testament for his classes at Concordia. He and his wife Cheryl have three grown children.

Mark your calendar to attend here at Shepherd of the Ridge, or if you can't be here, watch live online. We will stream the presentation on the main Genesis page, and you can watch there from anywhere in the world, and use the chat boxes there to offer comments or questions. Questions posed via these boxes will be considered during the Q&A session  along with live questions from those present.

We welcome and encourage other churches to participate as satellite locations by showing the presentation at their churches. Please contact us if you'd like to do so, and we'll help you get set up.
