LINCOLN (SNR) - The Lincoln-based Emmaus Institute for Biblical Studies, in collaboration with the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology, will offer its spring seminar in a unique conversational format.

Guest speaker and noted Catholic author Dr. Scott Hahn will join Emmaus president Dr. Vern Steiner and colleagues Chad Steiner and Joshua Burks for a two-hour webinar on Saturday, April 18, from 9 to 11 a.m.

The seminar theme is drawn from Isaiah 41:10: “‘Fear not, for I am with you’: God’s Presence in Times of Crisis.” During the live-stream event, Dr. Hahn and the Emmaus faculty will engage the topic of how to live by faith in a time of fear. They will also discuss Dr. Hahn’s forthcoming book, “Hope to Die: The Christian Meaning of Death and the Resurrection of the Body.”

The collaborative event is free to all. To access the webinar link, please visit the Emmaus website at www.emmausinstitute.net. The webinar can also be accessed by simply visiting the Emmaus Institute account on Facebook or Youtube at the time of the event.

A well-known speaker and teacher, Dr. Hahn has delivered numerous talks nationally and internationally on a wide variety of topics related to Scripture and the Catholic faith.
