The Gospel According to Ruth

“Discovering the Beauty Of God’s Mission” with Nate Wall-Bowering, BA

The Book of Ruth appears simple on the surface. It tells the quaint but poignant tale of two women journeying from emptiness into fullness. Yet this little story punches way above its weight. Read in-depth, Ruth has big things to say about the beauty of God’s mission; about how to navigate life’s heartaches and upsets in light of Scripture; and about how to encounter Jesus Christ in the pages of the Old Testament. This course is designed to help students and pastors of any age read the Book of Ruth for all its worth.

Alongside of his teaching, Nate is completing a PhD doing doctoral research in the Old Testament and the sermons of 17th century poet-priest John Donne.

What does life look like outside of the classroom for Nate?

“My dad put skates on my feet almost as soon as I could walk, so the ice is an old friend. I’m looking forward to passing that baton to my son Beau. Off the ice, I’ve been slowly converted from sprinter to long distance runner, and I love hiking with my wife Julia. As an incurable bookworm, I like to read almost anything, I have a soft spot for poetry and whodunnits. Good days find me in the kitchen improvising a meal for company out of whatever’s at hand. And I’m quite happy behind a drum set, although chances to play come few and far between these days.”
