Song of Songs: A metaphor for God and the church or a celebration of sexuality?
 
Episode Description
One of the most beautiful parts of the Bible, Christians often do not know what to do with the Song of Songs. Is it a metaphor for God and the church? A celebration of human sexuality? Or something else? In this panel discussion, Dr Kamina Wüst and Dr Lindsay Wilson help us appreciate this precious piece of Scripture.
This webinar is part of the Ridley Online Old Testament Prophets and Writings Unit (OT002D).

She has worked as a freelance writer and editor since 2016 and is the Old Testament Series Editor for Matthias Bible Guides, in which she also wrote the volume on the Song of Songs. Kamina lives in Brisbane, Australia and can be contacted through kaminawust.com.

About Dr Lindsay Wilson

Pleasure, Pain.... And Prosperity: Advancing The Mission Conversation In Australia

Majority World theology is growing as the Spirit of Christ grows God's people in both breadth and depth. What might Christianity in Australia stand to gain from it? This lecture will propose that a Tanzanian theology of prosperity points to a way for God to be known from within Australia’s secular pleasure/pain worldview.

The Leon Morris Lecture in New Testament Studies 2024
Ambassadors of Hope: A New Testament Theme

Episode Description
This lecture will explore one of the key themes of the New Testament – that of reconciliation. Reconciliation shows the heart of God, and the church is called to reflect that heart. This echoes something Leon Morris himself emphasized decades ago (although in a broader sense). The Bible calls it demonstrating an unconventional wisdom and it is our overall mission. It leads to hope and enablement, impacting how we present and reflect the gospel in a needy world. It calls us to word and deed convergence and the importance of practice and tone in engaging culture alongside what we believe.
