The New Testament Interfaith Dialogue Series

For the last three years, the John A. Widtsoe Foundation has organized interfaith Christian dialogue events focusing on the teachings of the New Testament. These meetings gathered scholars from across the country, representing eight different Christian traditions, to discuss their interpretations of scripture passages to foster a greater understanding, appreciation, and fellowship among the Christian community. All the videos from this series can be viewed below or online at the John A. Widtsoe YouTube Channel.
