Elaine James | An Invitation to Biblical Poetry

The Distillery

What if we've been missing an opportunity to reread biblical poetry to become co-creators or collaborators in the poetic journey? And what if we don't start reading the poem by trying to determine what it means, but instead engage in an open and expansive inquiry into discovering how biblical poetry can speak to us today? We will discuss these questions and more in this exciting exploration of biblical poetry and the book An Invitation to Biblical Poetry, written by Dr. Elaine T. James, associate professor of Old Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary.
