Read This Book: How to Read Scripture

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.
