Dr. Craig Keener, FM and Ada Thompson Professor of Biblical Studies at Asbury Seminary, recently was part of a select group of scholars under the direction of Archbishop Justin Welby working on Bible study materials for use in the Anglican Communion’s next Lambeth Conference.

“I am extremely honored and grateful to the Archbishop and to others at Lambeth Palace for the discussions and spiritually enriching worship times together,” Keener noted.
