The Bible is many things: an ancient anthology, God’s word, the Church’s book. But what is it to us? What should we do with it? How do we make sense of it? Join us starting September 8 for a 5-week class on how to read Scripture taught primarily by Dr. Mark Lester (PhD in Hebrew Bible from Yale University). We’ll talk about why we read in community, how we pay attention to literary convention and history, and how Christians have read scripture with and against church tradition. Our last week, we’ll think through how to read Scripture as a spiritual exercise.

If you go for a walk down a residential street in Chicago, you’ll likely encounter any number of signs encouraging you to vote for a particular presidential candidate. In this class, we won’t tell you whose bubble to fill in, but we will talk about how we engage in politics as Christians. We’ll think through the ways politics shapes us and our communities, and explore some of the nuances of engaging faithfully in a political context that is marked by fallenness and brokenness. This five-week class will begin on September 8 during Common Ground and will be taught primarily by Larissa Bossemeyer.
