Testimonials

“Jonathan Homrighausen’s presentation surpassed our expectations. He is well-informed about The Saint John’s Bible, insightful about its significance, personally connected to the artists who created it, and able to convey his vast knowledge in a way that engages novices and experts alike.”
— Rev. Dr. Phil Ruge-Jones, Associate Pastor, Grace Lutheran Church, Eau Claire, WI

“Jonathan Homrighausen has that rare ability to combine an engaging presentation style, a vivid enthusiasm for the topic, and a down-to-earth approach to his listeners. His lively and informed talks to my classes have always been well received and students go away amazed at the information he presents and the stories he tells. I heartily recommend him as a speaker and teacher!”
— David Pleins, Professor of Religious Studies, Santa Clara University, CA

“Jonathan’s class on the Bible-Quran was the talk of the congregation, even for weeks after. All attendees talked about how much they learned and how wonderful Jonathan was as an instructor.”
— Rev. Salying Wong, Rector, St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Sunnyvale, CA

“Jonathan Homrighausen is one of our best speakers on the Interfaith Speakers Bureau program. He brings to life his subject matter by melding theoretical/academic knowledge with practical experiences in his descriptions of Christianity, and his knowledge of other religions like Islam and Judaism make him an invaluable partner in interfaith conversations and dialogue.  I look forward to his many contributions to Quran-Bible studies among Muslims, Christians and Jews.”
—Maha Elgenaidi, Executive Director, Islamic Networks Group (ING)

“I liked Jonathan’s passionate energy on this subject. I appreciated the clarity and resources he offered in this 90 minute session.”
