All are invited to the 2019 Spring Faculty Lecture tonight (Tuesday) at 6 p.m. in Hoover 105.
Nijay K.Gupta’s lecture, “People of Faith: Why the First Christians Called Themselves ‘Believers,'” will focus on why followers of Jesus adopted the label “believers†in reference to their identity, and even referred to their religion as “the faith.†What significance did this pose for them? Was it primarily about “beliefs,†or something more? Gupta will explore these important historical questions and also address the relevance this discussion has for Christian identity today.
Gupta is the recipient of the 2017-18 Faculty Achievement Award for Graduate Research and Scholarship and an associate professor of New Testament at Portland Seminary.Â

This Thursday, March 7, the George Fox University Players will be sharing stories with you, our stories – real stuff from our lives!
We are exploring the theme “Looking Up.” When our everyday lives are interrupted, we lift our heads and see something new; when we have the presence of mind to put down our screens and be in the here and now; when our attention is captured by a neighbor, friend or stranger standing in front of us; when we look up and can’t help but be stunned by this amazing, beautiful world.
So, join us in Wood-Mar Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. We’ve got a beautiful journey ahead of us!
