Grounded in the Living Word

Grounded in the Living Word addresses the disconnect between pastoral care and biblical interpretation in a unique - and much-needed - manner. In this cross-disciplinary conversation Denise Hopkins and Michael Koppel show how the themes and narratives of the Old Testament can effectively speak to and interact with the real-life stories of people today.

Denise Dombkowski Hopkins is professor of biblical theology at Wesley Theological Seminary, Washington, D.C. Michael S. Koppel is professor of pastoral theology and congregational care at Wesley Theological Seminary.
