Hereford Cathedral will host two events exploring the Old Testament this month.
The events, led by Dr Alison Gray from Westminster College, Cambridge, will delve into the Bible's history and teachings.
Dr Gray, an expert in Old Testament language, literature, and theology, will take part in the cathedral's Life & Learning programme on Friday, March 28, and Saturday, March 29.
The first event, titled "What’s the Story of the Old Testament and Why Does It Matter for Christians?", will be held on Friday at 7pm in College Hall.
Dr Gray will discuss the Old Testament's role in understanding Jesus's life and teachings.
The second event, "A Walkthrough of the Old Testament", will take place on Saturday at 10.30am.
This free, family-friendly session will allow participants to 'walk through' the Old Testament, interacting with dramatised interviews with famous and lesser-known Biblical figures.
This event is suitable for children aged seven and up.
Reverend Canon James Pacey, Chancellor of Hereford Cathedral, said: "We are thrilled to be joined by Dr Alison Gray for these two special events here at the cathedral as we dive into the Old Testament together.
"Whether you're new to the stories or have been studying them for years, the two events will provide opportunities for further discovery in new and thought-provoking ways.
"I’m particularly excited for the Saturday event and can’t wait to meet the host of biblical characters throughout the cathedral."
