The Rev. Barbara K. Lundblad, associate professor of preaching,
Union Theological Seminary, New York, returns to preach Dec. 31
and Jan. 7 on "Day 1," a nationally broadcast radio program
accessible via streaming audio and podcast on the Web. Each
program includes a sermon preached by Lundblad and a five-minute
interview with her by the program's executive producer, Peter
Wallace.
For both sermons, Lundblad preaches from the Gospel of Luke and
examines two events in the life of Jesus: when he left his
parents at the age of 12 and was found three days later in the
temple, and his baptism in the Jordan River.
Lundblad has taught preaching at Yale Divinity School, New Haven,
Conn.; Princeton Theological Seminary, Princeton, N.J.; Hebrew
Union College, New York; and in the doctor of ministries program
of the Association of Chicago Theological Schools. She spent 16
years as a parish pastor at Our Saviour Atonement Lutheran
Church, (Manhattan), New York, and served as campus pastor at
Lehman College, Bronx, N.Y., and New York University. She has a
degree in English from Augustana College, Rock Island, Ill., and
a master of divinity degree from Yale Divinity School.
