Join Us for the Inaugural "Festival of Scripture & the Arts"!

From June 20-21, Concordia University Chicago will host a Festival of Scripture & the Arts inviting students, faculty and staff, alumni, and community members to explore the beauty and depth of King Solomon’s Song of Songs through a series of lectures, presentations, performances, and a special art installation, commissioned by the University.  

Inspired by the poetic imagery of Song of Songs, the festival encourages participants to reflect on God’s enduring commitment to His people and the beautiful, joyful, and transformative power of His love. Drawing on the text’s rich imagery, the event will explore themes of longing, devotion, delight, and unity. 

The two-day festival features poetry, art, and storytelling sessions, theology lectures, roundtable discussions, musical premieres, and more.
