Baker Publishing Group has partnered with The Matthew's House Project for a lecture/discussion series titled Erasing Hate. The series, which provides a forum in which “the intersections of faith and culture can be explored,” will be held from February to March in cities across the United States and one in Canada, company officials said.

Speakers include authors who are local to the community. Each will lecture for about 30-45 minutes on topics that tend to be divisive such as race, religion, ethnicity and/or morality, with discussion following.

David Dark, author of Everyday Apocalypse (Brazos Press), launches the series Feb. 8 in Nashville. Michael Licona, author of Paul Meets Muhammad (Baker Books), will be the featured speaker Feb. 15 in Atlanta, and John Stackhouse, author of Finally Feminist (Baker Academic) closes the series March 29 in Vancouver, British Columbia.

The majority of the 20-plus events will take place in Borders stores. For more information, visit www.erasinghate.com.
