Rahel Schafer Update

Rahel Schafer, Assistant Professor of Hebrew Bible in the Department of Religion and Biblical Languages, received her PhD this month from Wheaton College in Biblical and Theological Studies, with an emphasis in Old Testament. Her dissertation title is: "You, YHWH, Save Humans and Animals": God's Response to the Vocalized Needs of Non-Human Animals as Portrayed in the Old Testament." 

Dr. Schafer and her loved ones also appreciate your prayers at this time, as she remains in hospital with extensive tibia and arterial damage following an accident last week.
