“Pots, Parables, and Prophets”

The Lecture
Saturday Morning: 9:00 a.m.–12 noon
The Bible employs a rich vocabulary to describe ceramic pots, dishes, jars,
and other vessels; Hebrew has roughly three times as many such words as
English. Knowing what specific vessel a term describes not only deepens our
understanding of the Scriptural text, but also leads to increased spiritual
insight as we see why the prophet or parable-teller chose a particular term.
Come join us as Dr. Dale Liid explores this fascinating topic.
The Speaker
After graduating from college, Dale Liid immediately embarked on a decade of missionary service to the Church in West Africa. This decade began with a short-term assignment with Youth With A Mission in Senegal building a chapel, an aircraft hanger and digging of wells. The next six years were spent in Burkino Faso working with Bible translators and national churches in the production of their materials as well as the National Museum’s first international catalogue. His missionary assignments concluded with the establishing of an outreach ministry and church among the nomadic Fulani tribesmen near the Sahara in northern Burkino Faso.
After several years as a teacher and pastor, Dale and his wife Yvonne took up residence in Jerusalem to complete their graduate studies at the Institute of Holy Land Studies (now the Jerusalem University College) in Archaeology and Historical Geography. He was engaged by the Institute as the interim director of the short-term program which included field lectures on geography, history and archaeology.
Upon returning to their home in California, Dale authored 26 articles on geography and archaeology for Doubleday’s Anchor Bible Dictionary. He has been called to Bulgaria for short-term teaching assignments, and is a member of the Board of Directors of the University of the Holy Land (Jerusalem) and their Center for the Study of Early Christianity. He presently serves at St. Timothy Orthodox Church as director of religious education and is adjunct faculty for Fuller Theological Seminary in Northern California teaching Hebrew and Historical Geography.
