His topic will be “Paul’s Jewish Gospel for a Gentile World.” Wright has been a professor of theology for over 25 years serving at Oxford University and Worcester College in England. He has been the Bishop of Durham since 2003 and has written more than 40 scholarly books on theology.

The lecture takes place in the Flagler College Auditorium, 14 Granada St., St. Augustine. The event is free and open to the public, and seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Sign language interpreters are provided. Call (904) 819-6400 for more information.
The Cecile and Gene Usdin Judeo-Christian Lecture Series is made possible through a generous endowed gift to Flagler College from Gene Usdin, M.D., who chose Flagler College for this special honor for several reasons. “I grew up in St. Augustine and finished public high school there,” he said. “I have always liked the city and the people.” Usdin was a former President of the American Psychiatric Association. He was also a clinical professor of psychiatry at Louisiana State University School of Medicine from 1971 to 1996 when he became clinical professor emeritus. He also served as senior psychiatrist with the Department of Psychiatry, Ochsner Clinic, and as editor of ACP-Psychiatric Update, a monthly audio cassette continuing education program sponsored by the American College of Psychiatrists. |
