On Saturday, November 14, at 2:00 p.m. at the Belden Noble Library, local author Jo Ann Gardner will discuss her latest book, Seeds of Transcendence: Understanding the Hebrew Bible Through Plants, and the impact of her farming background on how she approached the text.
How does this differ from the usual books on the subject? What were the drawbacks and advantages of being outside the world of biblical scholars? Find out why Jo Ann was moved to write what has been described as “a great contribution to the study of the Bible today” by David Novak, University of Toronto.
Don’t worry! You don’t need to have specialized knowledge of the Bible or plants to enjoy this presentation.
Copies of Seeds of Transcendence will be available for sale and signing. The event is free; donations are welcome.
