Huber presents paper on using art to teach the Bible at national conference

Lynn Huber, assistant professor of Religious Studies, will be presenting a paper titled “From Chagall’s Creation to Blake’s Apocalypse: Teaching the Bible through the Visual Arts” at the Annunal Meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature on Monday, Nov. 20, in Washinton, D.C.

This paper, which will be included in a forthcoming book on teaching in the area of biblical studies, focuses upon the different ways in which professors can employ visual art in a highly textual field. It provides a variety of examples of how visual texts might be used to read and illuminate the written texts.
