TOME Talk

Tome is a powerful and meaningful ancient Hebrew word found many times in the Old Testament (predominantly in the Psalms). The word describes the wholeness of the human condition, the overall integrity of life as God created and intended. For its summer Tome series, Beggars Table is asking a wide variety of people (some Christians and some not) to present on a wide variety of topics – each speaking only 15 minutes. The underlying understanding is that it’s all important, interesting, and worth investing at the very least, a handful of minutes in.
