Sacred Texts Study Group: A Class for the Skeptic, the Curious, and the Wandering Believer.
The Bible, and other sacred texts, can be challenging. A solace for some and a weapon for others, these stories nevertheless underpin much of society and consciously and unconsciously inform our national debate. At the least, our familiarity can create flexibility and understanding; at the most, these texts can be deeply enriching, spiritual, and life-giving. As a UU, Rev. Scot’s approach to scripture has always been one of curiosity – “I just kinda want to know what all the fuss is about.” All are welcome. No previous exposure is required but would certainly be welcomed. Note: Yes, we are starting with the Bible, and starting completely from scratch! We’ll be using the Massachusetts Bible Society’s What is the Bible? as our study guide (purchase is not required). For a Bible, Rev. Scot recommends the Harper Collins Study Bible or the The New Oxford Annotated Bible with Apocrypha. We will meet 3rd Mondays of the month at 7pm. Zoom Link Here.
