Genesis- How Scholars Read the Bible

Reading the Bible critically is needed to understand ancient writers and why they wrote. In one session, this class introduces basic concepts in the unique work of Genesis, like the quality of texts, source theory, reflecting on fact vs. truth, literalism vs. storytelling, etc. This isn’t school at church or synagogue. While being faith affirmative, the class is not seeking to affirm doctrines, traditions, or personal beliefs. If you believe in the inerrancy of scripture, you will NOT find this course helpful.

Israel in the Plan of God

This course will look at God's plan for Israel and the Jewish people. With approximately 85% of the Bible about Israel/Jewish people it is imperative to understand God's plan for them if one is to understand the Bible.

The Yo-Yo Kings of Judah (Ancient Israel)

This class reveals the astonishing history of six kings of Judah, two of whom were deemed righteous and noble and their successors just the opposite to the extreme. Three were godly and promoted their faith in combating paganism and idolatry; three were evil incarnate and supported practices that encouraged idolatry in many forms. This study of contrasts, like all of history, contains useful lessons for all. Join us for a riveting look at six memorable historical figures that occupied thrones.

The Prodigal Son Revisited NEW!

This is a story of redemption based on a famous parable found in Luke. A young man from a wealthy and comfortable background abandons his life of privilege determined to forge a new life on his own. Demanding an early inheritance from his father, he sets off on a journey to "a far land" where the grass is sure to be greener on the other side of the fence. His dreams and aspirations are not realized as hoped and he ultimately returns home a broken man. He is redeemed by his father's loving embrace.

Food for thought- whatever your view of the Bible.
