(Evangelii nuntiandi, no. 18). Time will be given to discuss the relevance of this in our world today.

    The lecture series will also be held on March 11, March 18, March 25, and April 1, 2009.

    Dr. Ben Witherington III is the speaker for this date.

  6. Dr. Witherington,

    You mentioned that they videotaped it. Is that tape available to view/download?

    I really enjoyed your talk and I hope to follow up on the ideas you presented in the coming months.

    And again, thanks for the picture!

  7. I too would like to see the lecture since I wasn't there. If it becomes available let us know.

    As a lot of Iphone/Ipod users know Amazon has released a application of their kindle for the Iphone/Ipod. So i installed it on my Ipod touch and, since I don't have any Kindle books to use with it, I thought of buy one. Guess what...It a Ben Witherington one. The one one the lord supper.

    I think this will take me some time to read (Laundry Mat reading material) But looks good.

    Now I can have a pocket version Of Ben anywhere I go.....
