Bible Class

Since the Bible comes to us cloaked in the idioms, mores, and cultural givens of the five cultural eras through which it passed to get here, we must be careful not to generalize or absolutize any of them by try to discern, in and through all that, the mode or modes by which our ancestors in the faith affirmed God's oneness, or integrity, in their day - then take that as inspiration and energy for going and doing likewise in our day - James A. Sanders


No Bible Class in Fall 2019. Alternative occasions when Biblical themes are explored:

Sunday 9:00 am FORUM

Monday through Thursday 8:15 am LAUDS (with teachings on the Gospel of Mark starting on Sept. 16)


What participants say about our Bible Class:


The Scriptural Study class has introduced me to a deeper methodical approach in studying the context of the books of the Bible. Understanding the period of history into which Christ became flesh, and the theological life of the Hebrew people, actualizes for me the radical and controversial sayings of Jesus in relation to not only that period of history, but also to my own life and the political environment of my world. Father Gianluigi and Jim Dunkly not only facilitate the course in a lecture/dialog approach, but invite active thought, insight and participation by the class members, which creates a real atmosphere of “hands on” learning. The class has taken me from a horizontal to a vertical level of learning and has sparked new thought and insight in my spiritual journey - d. sevier
