Join us for Brian McLaren’s 2013 Series
Some of us have lots of practice reading the Bible in fundamentalist, pre-critical ways - and others have ample practice reading the Bible in critical or skeptical ways. What we need today is a new, fresh approach to the Bible - reading it in post-critical ways, literary rather than literalist, sensitive to history, and focused on an over-arching narrative that focuses on Jesus and his good news. In this 2013, in four stand-alone but integrated sessions, we'll get an overview of the whole Bible from this fresh perspective.
Mar 22-23: Reading the Hebrew Bible Afresh: We'll dig in to the Pentateuch, the historical books, the poetry and wisdom literature, and the prophets ... in their historical context and with an eye to their meaning today.
May 10-11: Reading the Gospels Afresh: We'll explore Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John's portraits of Jesus and his good news of the kingdom of God.
July 19-20 : Reading Acts Afresh: We'll get a fresh vision of the earliest disciples and their messianic movement in the Book of Acts.
Dec 6-7: Reading the New Testament Afresh: We'll engage with Paul's letters, plus the writings of James, John, and Peter, plus the Book of Revelation.
Workshop Schedule for all four sessions:
Friday 7:00 PM -9:00 PM
Saturday 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
