Ohmann Lecture Series: Dr. James E. Sargent, Fear Not. (Summer 2026)
We're grateful for Jim Sargent's engaging Ohmann Lecture Series, Fear Not. If you missed any or all of them, or would like hear them again, all five lectures can be found below.
In response to the climate of fear which began with the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and escalated during the Covid pandemic, Dr. Sargent presented his response to the question, “What can we do?” That response was “RESIST.” In his lecture series, Dr. Sargent directed our thinking to the emergence of biblical faith, the courage of first-century Christians, the challenges to the contemporary church, and the hope that resides in courageous resistance.
James E. Sargent holds degrees from The Defiance College (B.A., 1964) and United Theological Seminary (M.Div., 1976, D.Min, 1992). He taught at Bluffton College, Winebrenner Theological Seminary, Athenaeum of Ohio, and the Good Samaritan College of Nursing and Health Science. His scholarly interests focus on Old Testament, education and imagination. He has published eight books, and has delivered the C. Henry Smith Peace Lecture (Bluffton and Goshen Colleges) and lectures on the Prophet Jeremiah to the West Ohio School of Ministry. He is currently working on a manuscript entitle “Fear Not: What the Bible has to say about fear.”
