Revelation in Ecumenical Perspectives

As a part of the Reformation Commentary on Scripture series, Rodney L. Petersen, (PhD, Princeton) along with Gerald L. Bray (PhD, La Sorbonne) have co-edited and published the volume on the highly enigmatic and consequential Book of Revelation under InterVarsity Press. Sixteenth-century Reformers, much like interpreters today, show a diversity of opinion on how Revelation is to be understood, whether through more spiritual and Last Judgment connotations, or as a snapshot in historical context. Much like the vast social and political upheaval in the time of the Reformation, we have called upon Rodney and his colleagues to remark upon Revelation in ecumenical perspectives today. Cooperative Metropolitan Ministries (CMM) and the Boston Theological Interreligious consortium (BTI), two of Rodney’s previous places of directorship, are helping to put this conversation together with friends—at the Boston University Marsh Chapel on Thursday, November 20, 2025, from 3-5pm—for an afternoon of retrospection and future revelation. (This will also be, in a way, an opening for AAR/SBL Boston, which begins the next day.) Click here to purchase the book

PROGRAM SUBJECT TO CHANGE

  • Welcome: Dr. Stephanie Edwards (BTI) and Dean Robert Allan Hill (BU)
  • BTI International Mission and Ecumenism reflections on the book: Dr. Meg Guider (BC) and Dr. Todd Johnson (GCTS)
  • Practical implications: Rev. Dr. Casely Essamuah and Dr. George Walters-Sleyon
  • Thank you/closing prayer/last word: Rev. Dr. Rodney Petersen and Thomas W. Porter, Jr., Esq.

The Imperfect Pastor: 2024 Gordon-Conwell Pastors’ Conference

About the Conference:

Leaders in ministry are pressured to produce large, famous things as fast as possible. But the things that matter most in the lives of those we serve require small, mostly overlooked graces over a longer period of time. Pastoring and preaching are best when seen as acts of love and wonder hovering within the ordinary lives of particular people. But this means we also need wisdom. When competing cultural questions, political voices, and individual doubts rise, it can feel more difficult to know which voices belong with Jesus, and how to wisely help others hear his voice and biblically follow him. In these conversations, Dr. Zack Eswine will spur you on to taste the goodness of wiser loves and skills for your life and ministry.

Schedule:

9:45-10:45 a.m. Plenary Session I: The Imperfect Preacher
12:00-1:30 p.m. Dean’s Forum: Locating Jesus in our Political Moment (lunch included)
1:45-3:00 p.m. Plenary Session II: The Imperfect Pastor
