In her book Jesus For Everyone, Not Just Christians renowned biblical scholar and author Amy-Jill Levine uses stories told by and about Jesus to address the issues dividing us today:  economics, family values, the legacy of slavery, nationalism, healthcare, and politics.

Join Malcolm Clemens Young, Dean of Grace Cathedral, for a conversation with Dr. Levine about why Jesus’s historic and cultural influence makes him fascinating, provocative, and relevant for everyone, not only Christians.

“Every book from Levine startles me with its brilliance and pluck.”  — Barbara Brown Taylor
