The Anderson School of Theology will soon celebrate its 50th year of operation. To mark the occasion and to set the tone for an active role in the Anderson community for a long time to come, a series of lectures and events has been planned. The theme of this series is the many ways in which religious texts, writers, prophets, and founders of the Great Religions have expressed what they knew and experienced of God. As modern readers and believers we must work to understand what we read and experience of God in our own lives.
