“Language as Sacrament in the New Testament”
The second Amos Wilder Lecture in Scripture and Literary Arts delivered by Pulitzer-Prize-winning poet Franz Wright
Wright will explore the idea of language as sacrament in the Christian scriptures, as well as the poetic forms used by Jesus in his teaching. He will also discuss the possibility of religious poetry in our own unpropitious time.
This event is possible thanks to a gift from the Wilder family, and to the co-sponsorship of the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center.
