@northwesternmn professors regularly create significant new publications. Dr. Jonathan Loopstra, Prof of History, recently completed translating and editing this collection of early Christian writings. Studying Church history gives us new insights. Congrats, Dr. Loopstra!

@NorthwesternMN History & Political Science students celebrated return to classes with annual Labor Day Game Night/BBQ. Supported by root beer, Roman sweet dates & burgers, we played multiple rounds of the 4,000-year old Sumerian Game of Ur. Father Abraham would have been proud!

It is with great sadness we share that Dr. Jeremy Kolwinska, AVP for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College of Arts and Humanities, passed away unexpectedly on March 13. This is a profound loss for our community. Please join us in praying for his family. We will miss him.

In commemoration of #WorldRefugeeWeek, we remember those Christian & Yezidi communities made refugees under the Islamic State in Iraq. In our classes @NorthwesternMN, students are able to learn more about the difficulties facing these ancient communities in today’s Middle East.

Students traveled with Dr. Seevers to Israel to an archaeological dig where he uncovered an artifact that illustrates life in Israel at the time of Judges and helped in the team’s overall effort to confirm the historicity of the book of Joshua.
