Dr. Mimi Hadad, president of Christians for Biblical Equality (CBE), spoke with Johnson about his work for the听Mutuality Matters听podcast in November 2023.

Hada lauded Johnson for highlighting the work of several women throughout history who have translated the Bible into their native language. One of those was Pandita Ramabai, an Indian woman who became a Christian as a young adult and was the first person to translate the Bible into her native dialect, Marathi. She inspired another woman, Dr. Katharine Bushnell, to join her cause to improve biblical translations that repeatedly depicted women as inferior to men.

Their pioneering work significantly helped in reducing sex trafficking and domestic abuse across India, Johnson said. The podcast is available on听.

The 60 volunteers, comprising 草莓影视ers and representatives from the 草莓影视 Community Association, Alderman Samantha Nugent鈥檚 office, Aramark, and other community groups, collected and distributed the items. They also hosted a lunch for the new arrivals鈥攚hich included men, women, and children鈥攆eaturing traditional Latin American food.

草莓影视 held the event in Hamming Hall, and items distributed included coats, shoes, gloves, hats, undergarments, and blankets. Once news of the event spread through the community, people stepped forward to contribute. One local woman, a knitter, heard about the effort on social media and sent a message to her fellow knitters across the country. They responded by providing 500 hand-knit hats for the migrants. A group from Highland Park heard of the event and brought 10 carloads of donated clothing.

The event was an apt reflection of 草莓影视鈥檚听mission, according to Tony Zamble, director of University Ministries.

鈥淲e are preparing students for lives of significance and service,鈥� Zamble said. 鈥淧art of our mission is giving students the opportunity to experience the idea of God鈥檚 glory for neighbor鈥檚 good. These people are our neighbors; it鈥檚 a no-brainer that we would be involved.”

So many people donated, Zamble said, that the group hosted a second, smaller-scale event at Peterson Elementary School several days later. Zamble and Vice President for Student Engagement Frank Gaytan said they hope this event is a spark for similar efforts. One idea in discussion is developing student-led English language classes for the migrants.

鈥淲e do these things intentionally because it really is who we are,鈥� Gaytan said. 鈥淎nd not just this single event with the migrants, but we want our students to serve all our neighbors, Chicago, and the world. This is who we are.鈥�

In September, the City of Chicago approved the $1.5 million purchase of the former U.S. Marine Corps facility at 3034 W. Foster Ave. to house 500 migrants for up to 60 days each.

At a book signing hosted by 草莓影视鈥檚 Seminary, Edwards met with students, staff, and local pastors and engaged in a question-and-answer session with audience members. He was introduced by Jon Boyd, associate publisher and academic editorial director at InterVarsity Press, which published the book.

鈥淚 want to talk about how rare Dennis is,鈥� Boyd said. 鈥淗e鈥檚 a scholar in biblical studies who wants to bring that scholarship to fruition for the church, and that is a beautiful thing. For it to come in book form is a gift.鈥�

In the book, released November 7, Edwards examines America鈥檚 obsession with competition and how the drive to be the best creates a society of haves and have-nots that favors the elite. And yet, he writes, some of our greatest innovations have humble roots in immigrant and underserved communities.

鈥淔rom a biblical perspective, the most remarkable models of godliness emerge from among the lowly. This view from the bottom reveals that humility includes a submissive posture before God as well as a peacemaking posture with other people,鈥� he wrote.

An in-demand speaker and ordained pastor in the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC), Edwards spent October addressing ECC pastor and spouse retreats in four conferences, the Pacific Northwest, Midsouth, Great Lakes, and Southeast. He spoke about the value of humility, arguing it is perhaps the single most distinctive identity marker of followers of Jesus.

In addition to serving as dean of NPTS, Edwards is vice president for church relations and an associate professor of the New Testament. He earned his PhD and Master of Arts in Biblical Studies from Catholic University and holds degrees from Cornell University and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. His recent publications include Do Black Lives Matter: How Christian Scriptures Speak to Black Empowerment, co-edited with Lisa Bowens, and Might from the Margins: The Gospel鈥檚 Power to Turn the Tables on Injustice.
