Bruce J. Malina, professor of Biblical studies at Creighton University, will present his lecture "Was Jesus a Jew? Was Aristotole a Greek? Was Paul a Christian? Reading the Past with Cross-Cultural Lenses" Thursday, Nov. 6, at 7 p.m. in Holland Hall 501. "Professor Malina is one of the leading scholars in America who employs the social sciences, especially cultural anthropology, to gain a deeper understanding of the Mediterranean world as the setting in which Christianity and the Bible were born," says St. Olaf Professor of Religion Gary Stansell. Malina's lecture is free and open to the public.
