Tabor & Wray Team up for BAS Seminar at St Olaf
This summer, join us as we host this exciting seminar series in the beautiful, idyllic setting of St. Olaf College, JULY 5 – 11, 2009. Just 35 miles south of Minneapolis and St. Paul, St. Olaf is set on a hilltop overlooking historic Northfield, MN, a charming, two-college town with a welcoming community. This BAS vacation seminar takes place within the beautiful and restorative setting of the college’s award-winning architecture nestled in a 300-acre woodland. During the week-long seminar, Biblical scholars Dr. James Tabor and Dr. Tina Wray will illuminate the compelling and mysterious world of the Bible in a series of 18 lectures. This unique program provides you with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn from and interact with two of the most eminent scholars in the field in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Both Tabor and Wray will be fresh back from digging in Israel at Mt Zion.
