John Walton to Speak at Butler University – March 18th

The First Sunset: Cosmology in the Ancient World and Genesis One

March 18, 2010, 6:00 p.m. Johnson Room of Robertson Hall

John Walton, Professor of Old Testament at Wheaton College (Illinois), and author of The Lost World of Genesis One: Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate, will talk about the interpretation of creation narratives in the Bible. This lecture is sponsored by the Department of Philosophy and Religion and will be co-sponsored by the Sunset Project.

I’m going, thanks to my lovely wife who has decided to let me. I’ll be going through Ohio which is really the only downside to the entire trip, but they have a Popeyes‘ just miles from campus. How cool is that!

Looking forward to it.

Thanks to Professor James McGrath for the heads up. If you are in the area – or 5 1/2 hours away like me, you might want to consider going.

    Also, as a Wal*Mart associate I have to fight the urge to genuflect in any Walton’s presence just in case.
