Reverent Awe: Tracing Awe and Wonder Through the Biblical Tradition

Awe and wonder both when encountering God and when reflecting on the world that God made are key ideas throughout the whole Bible, and yet they are not ideas we talk about much today.  This is partially because, in the Bible, they are used alongside fear, terror, danger and mystery and we no longer like to use such words to describe God.  In this presentation we will explore awe and wonder in the Bible and reflect on what these ideas might mean to us today.
