As the Gospel of Luke begins to weave a story about Jesus, there is a clock ticking in the background. As promises about Jesus’ resurrection and assurances of his return are narrated, what can we learn about the world God is shaping around us? So often, we are tempted to imagine Christian timekeeping as primarily about the end of the world as we know it. But what if Luke is more interested in our everyday practices of keeping time as we live and die, rejoice and grieve? In short, the Gospel of Luke helps us tell what time it is in a way that is meaningful and faithful, especially in a moment of intersecting crises. Join Dr. Eric Barreto, the Frederick & Margaret L. Weyerhaeuser Associate Professor of New Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary, for this special lecture for our Pinnacle community.
