The Salt Lake School of Theology is excited to welcome Dr. George Guthrie, Professor of New Testament at Regent College, on January 26th, 2024 for our winter colloquium. Dr. Guthrie will be sharing his recent research on Philippians with a lecture entitled, "How a Narrative Poem Saves the World: Philippians 2:6-11."

In three lectures Dr. Guthrie will look at one of the most loved and most researched passages in all of Scripture. Lecture one considers the broad literary context of the poem, how it functions in anchoring Paul’s main intentions for the letter. Lecture two turns to the literary dynamics within the poem itself, offering fresh analysis of both the intertextual background and the high level of crafting that went into this traditional piece. Finally, lecture three turns to the poem’s theological message and practical implications for life in the world and the church today.

Dr. George Guthrie is Professor of New Testament at Regent College and a highly sought-after lecturer, who has taught across North America, as well as in East Asia, the United Kingdom, Germany, South Africa, and Israel. Before coming to Regent in 2018, he taught for twenty-eight years at Union University in Jackson, Tennessee, where he served as the Benjamin W. Perry Professor of Bible and Fellow in the Ryan Center for Biblical Studies.

Dr. Guthrie has published commentaries on Hebrews (Zondervan, 1998, 2002, 2007), James (Zondervan, 2006), 2 Corinthians (Baker, 2015), and Philippians (Zondervan, 2023) as well as numerous articles, book chapters, and book reviews. He has also published a number of works designed to equip the church to better understand and apply Scripture, including Reader’s Guide to the Bible (LifeWay, 2011), Reading God’s Story: A Chronological Daily Bible (Broadman & Holman, 2011), Read the Bible for Life: Your Guide to Understanding and Living God’s Word (Broadman & Holman, 2011), and CSB Day-by-Day Chronological Bible (Holman, 2018).
