Dear Alumni,
INVITATION TO A PUBLIC LECTURE
I bring you warm greetings from Trinity Theological College.
I would like to invite you to a public lecture on Wednesday 30 May at 8pm at the TTC Chapel. The speaker is Dr John Yieh. Dr Yieh is Associate Professor in New Testament at Virginia Theological Seminary and obtained his PhD from Yale University. He will speak on 'The Peace that Surpasses All Understanding: A New Testament Theological Reflection'.
Dr Yieh researched on the Dead Sea Scrolls at the W. F. Albright Institute of Archaeological Research in Jerusalem. He also compiled a Concise Greek-Chinese Dictionary of the New Testament (1989), commissioned and published by the United Bible Societies and contributed to the drafting and editing of a study edition of the Chinese Bible.
He has published essays, articles, and reviews in the area of Gospels studies and cross-cultural hermeneutics and his most recent book is entitled "One Teacher: Jesus’ Teaching Role in Matthew’s Gospel Report ". He is now writing a book tentatively entitled: The Sermon on the Mount: a history-of-effects inquiry.
This public lecture is part of the programme of the Second International Congress of Ethnic Chinese Biblical Scholars (ECBC) to be held at TTC from 29 May – 1 June 2007, the first being held in Hong Kong's Chung Chi College in 2004. The theme for the Congress 2007 is Shalom: Biblical and Chinese Perspectives.
The public lecture is open to all and we encourage you to invite other interested persons to attend as well.
Yours in His Service,
Ngoei Foong Nghian
Principal
