The Daily Bruin

George Fox Digital has released its final public lecture of a four-part series on YouTube addressing the pandemic and Christian faith. How are we to understand suffering in light of God’s goodness? What do our academic disciplines have to say about theology and the pandemic?

This week, Professor Unique Page speaks on the topic “Reaching Out in Faith During the Pandemic.”

If you missed the three earlier releases, featuring Bill Jolliff, Javier Garcia, and Abigail Favale, see the full playlist here.

Questions? Contact Brian Doak (bdoak@georgefox.edu).

Academic research articles are great, but there are a lot of other things out there that can help you with your research project too! Join librarian Jenny Bruxvoort to learn more about using books, background sources, and high-quality information available outside of the library in your research.

The workshop will be held via Zoom at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, March 9. Register for this workshop and others at this link.

This semester, the library is offering a series of workshops to help the Fox community navigate our increasingly digital library environment. Each workshop will be taught by a different librarian, making them an excellent way to refresh your skills, learn something new, or hear an old concept in a new way.
