The Sundet Lecture in honor of Calvin J. Roetzel featured renowned New Testament scholar Margaret Mitchell, Professor of New Testament and Early Christian Literature at the University of Chicago.
Co-sponsored by the Program in Religious Studies, the Sundet Chair in New Testament and Christian Studies, and the Department of Classical and Near Eastern Studies, Mitchell's lecture focused on the relationship the New Testament and early Christian writings have to the wider Greco-Roman world and literary culture in which they were composed, as well as on the legacies of those texts as sacred scripture for Christian communities in later antiquity and beyond.
