Episode 25: The Liturgy of Creation with Dr Michael LeFebvre

Voices In The Wilderness

Dr Michael LeFebvre,. author of The Liturgy of Creation: Understanding Calendars in Old Testament Context, sits down with Kristine Johnson and John James Kirkwood to discuss the controversies over the creation accounts in The Bible and why are still talking about them. Is there a "plain reading" of the text? What can we learn from Israel's ancient Holy Days in relation to creation narratives? Is it more likely that the creation narrative is an historical account or are there sacred rhythms of labor and worship hidden in a liturgical approach? Michael LeFebvre is a pastor and a Bible scholar. He received his PhD in Hebrew Bible from the University of Aberdeen, he was ordained through the Reformed Presbyterian Church, and he served for seven years as an adjunct professor of Old Testament studies with the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary. He is an active member of the Center for Pastor Theologians and presently works in human resources while in a ministry transition. He and his wife, Heather, live in Indianapolis and have five teenage and adult children.
