Two-day Ministry Conference
The Left Behind Alternative: Apocalyptic Literature
Dr. Dorothy Jonaitis, O.P.
Friday and Saturday, June 12-13, 2009
UIW International Conference Center

Learn why the “rapture” is neither biblical nor Catholic. Learn about the unusual images in the Book of Revelation and other apocalyptic texts. Discover how these are literature filled with hope rather that dread. This Conference will include morning, afternoon and evening sessions on Friday, and morning and afternoon sessions on Saturday. Cost: $45 per person, $35 pp. for groups of 3 or more. A light lunch will be provided on both days.

Dr. Dorothy Jonaitis is a Dominican sister and an assistant professor at the University of Dallas School of Ministry. Her book Unmasking Apocalyptic Texts: a Guide to Preaching and Teaching, which addresses the conference theme, will be available for purchase at the conference.

UIW Pastoral Institute students may earn one semester hour of academic credit through participation in the full conference and completion of some academic requirements, see the Course Listings.
