12th November 2002
Well Known Biblical Lecturer to Unpack Genesis
Not sure how to make sense of the stories from the early chapters of Genesis? Not sure how to answer your children's (or grandchildren's) questions? How, why and when was the Old Testament written?

During November well known biblical studies lecturer Dr Antoinette Collins will present two workshops in the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle on the topic "Understanding Genesis".

The workshops are open to all people but are particularly aimed at those people who teach religious education in our state schools.

During her workshops at Kotara South and Forster, Dr Collins will present an overview of how and when the Bible was written and then discuss some recent research on the early chapters of Genesis.

Dr Collins, who has a background in primary school education, studied at Oxford University on the Book of Genesis. She has taught at the University of Sydney and St Paul's National Seminary Kensington. She currently teaches biblical studies at the Australian Catholic University.
