Description
These recordings are from the Staley Lectures that took place at Regent College in November of 1998. The first recording is called Beyond the Broken Covenant: The Contemporary Crisis of Biblical Authority, which considers how the church can read Scripture with confidence in a world surrounding by postmodern criticism. The second recording is entitled Beyond the Impasse: Recovering Eschatological Reading, wherein Hays looks at the specific issue of violence through the lens of community, cross, and new creation.
