Dr. David Maxwell
The texts traditionally read at the Easter Vigil prepare the hearers for Easter by emphasizing Baptism and repentance in the broad sweep of the scriptural narrative. Dr. David Maxwell, the Louis A. Fincke and Anna B. Shine Professor of Systematic Theology, draws from these texts to explore what repentance is – and what a life of repentance looks like. Participants will receive six sermons designed for the mid-week Lenten services before Holy Week.
