Wednesday Evening Discussion Groups

March 11, 2020 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm

During Lent the Wednesday Evening Study Group will take a break from studying the book of Genesis to spend six weeks engaged in reading and discussing the book Entering the Passion of JesusA Beginner’s Guide to Holy Week by  Amy-Jill Levine, Professor of New Testament and Jewish Studies at Vanderbilt Divinity School and College of Arts and Sciences.

Professor Levine focuses on the history and literature surrounding the last days of Jesus’ life with the intent of deepening the student’s understanding of the risks involved in each day of Holy Week as well as the ethical and spiritual challenges these passages continue to raise.  In addition to the material found in the chapter we will read each week to prepare for class, the study includes a DVD lecture by Professor Levine who writes and speaks with wit, wisdom and deep compassion.  A significant portion of the 90 minute session is spent in group discussion but note that the title is A Beginner’s Guide so don’t feel you need to be a Biblical scholar to participate. The church has purchased books for the class and they are available in the church office.

 

 

Facilitated by Esther Ziegler; please contact her at estherrziegler@gmail.com  or Amy Aguilar in the church office if you plan to attend.
