The opening convocation of Bluffton College s weekly Forum series will continue a tradition started last year. Smith-Christopher is credited with pioneering work in the interpretation of biblical stories of exile in cultures including Chinese, Native American, Jewish and Palestinian. The book is required reading at this fall s new student orientation sessions. Smith-Christopher received a bachelor of arts degree from George Fox University, Newberg, Ore., a master of divinity from Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminaries, Elkhard, Ind., and a doctorate in Sociological Analysis of the Old Testament from Oxford University, England.
Forum is open to the public without charge.
