Last week, I was honored to be invited by President Jose R. Irizarry to be the Robert Jones Lecturer at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Dr. Timothy Beal and Dr. Patrick Reyes were the other two endowed lecturers for the MidWinter Lectures. I learned so much from both of them as they shared their work and research in their respective fields. Since my work on climate crisis overlapped Dr. Beal’s work, I asked him to share a bit of how his biblical translation of the first Creation Story impacts our outlook and action on climate change.
