Dr. Brennan Breed as our keynote speaker for the event. Brennan will also lead both Sunday morning worship services on September 29.

His other interests include Hebrew poetry, biblical theology, textual criticism, ancient and medieval visual art, and philosophy. Brennan is author of "Nomadic Text: A Theory of Biblical Reception History" (Indiana University Press, 2014), and co-author of the Old Testament Library commentary on Daniel with Carol Newsom (Westminster John Knox, 2014).
