Titles and Synopses of selected lectures:
Prof David W Baker (Asland, OH):
"The Wind and the Waves: Biblical Theology in Protology and Eschatology."
Wind and water are ambiguous forces in the biblical world, and in the Bible itself. Sometimes threatening and sometimes benign and beneficent, these elements bracket the Bible, from the watery deep overblown by the wind of the Spirit in Genesis through the vanishing sea in Revelation. This paper will trace the development and use of the motif, highlighting the OT occurrences, but also integrating later uses, especially Jesus? sovereignty over these elements in Mark 4.
