Presenter: Rev. Ronald D. Witherup, P.S.S., former Superior General of the Sulpicians, adjunct professor of Sacred Scripture, St. Mary’s Seminary & University, Baltimore, MD

ANNUAL LECTURE IN HONOR OF RICHARD J. CLIFFORD, S.J.
Reading the Old Testament with Paul the Apostle's Eyes

Using Paul’s letter to the Galatians, this lecture explores the ongoing relevance of the Old Testament for the New Testament. In particular Fr. Witherup discusses how Paul and his opponents leverage the figure of Abraham to make their arguments about how Gentiles can participate in the Jesus-believing community. Paul’s perspective on Scripture sheds light on how contemporary Christians can appreciate the ongoing value and unity of the Scriptures.
