SUMMARY:Preaching the Lectionary Gospel - a year with Matthew
DESCRIPTION:In ‘Preaching the Lectionary – Matthew’\, our aim will be to enter into Matthew’s world\, exploring the particular Jewish characteristics of his writing and audience\, and drawing out the unique contextual and theological insights of his Gospel\, while also reflecting on key aspects which differ from both John and the other synoptics.  But at the core of it all is the message it conveys\, and we’ll look together at how we might speak that same message into the hearts and lives of a very different audience today. \nThis event will run on Tuesday 18 November starting at 7pm or Wednesday 19 November at 10am \n  \nLed by Dan Button. \nDan has been the director of Gateway Theology School since 2017\, has a passion for both teaching and learning\, and is a lifelong follower of Jesus. Prior to GTS\, his career in theological & ministry training encompassed 20 years in Zimbabwe\, at Uganda Christian University\, and at Redcliffe College (Gloucester) as director of teaching & learning. Originally from Minnesota USA\, Dan was ordained in Uganda (2004) before finally settling in the UK in 2011 with his wife Rosie\, their two children\, and Tibetan Terrier\, Frodo.  Dan has taught extensively on the Gospels\, developing a ‘Harmony of the Gospels’ course which explores the theological distinctives of each gospel alongside fresh insights that only emerge when they’re read together. \nTo book your place on either of these events please click here.
