Ever seen bible verse trading cards? How about an ad for a mechanized model of the holy land? If not, you’re in for a treat. Come check out the winter exhibition of Secondhand Sacred “Ephemera in Circulation,” starting January 7th.
We're so delighted to feature this new exhibition at @MartyCenter! Thanks to @MaterializingB for bringing Secondhand Sacred to Swift Hall. @UChiDivinity
@IfBooksPod My mother read this with her book club when it came out and called me to tell me it made her realize she should have been harder on me when I was kid. Can't wait for a take on it that doesn't involve some weird magical thinking about her parenting style.
Next week! Join us and @SeminaryCoop for an author talk with National Book Award Finalist @aaliyahbilal! In conversation with Marty Center Faculty Co-Director Curtis Evans, Bilal will discuss her recent book "Temple Folk."
