Monday Night Bible Study

New Monday Night Bible Study begins November 3

Cross-Examined: Reading the Bible in Times of Division by Josh Scott

Does the Bible really say that women shouldn’t lead in the church or that the LGBTQ+ community can’t be included in the church? Does the Bible support racism, white supremacy, and Christian nationalism? Do we have to choose between an understanding of the Bible that has been weaponized for harm and exclusion or not engaging the Bible at all? This book explores what the Bible is and what it does (and, maybe more importantly, doesn’t) say about these important questions. The answers might surprise you.

Through thoughtful analysis and personal transformation, Josh Scott invites us to rethink dominant interpretations and uncover new possibilities for justice, inclusivity, and generosity in faith. Perfect for those seeking a deeper connection with their beliefs or grappling with these pressing issues, Cross-Examined serves as both a guide and a conversation starter. Open your heart and mind to an alternative understanding of faith, and join the movement toward a future of hope, justice, and unity.

The Monday Night Bible Study is a “hybrid” experience: many people participate in person; and several participate by Zoom. We discuss Bible passages and the content of the book in both large and small group conversations. Please sign up, as it helps the leaders in their planning. You may sign up 1) at the Connections Center in Grams Hall on Sunday mornings, 2) send Max Plank, Dawn Goellner or Pastor Joy an email, or 3) Click Here to sign up online.

Please order your copy of the book through your preferred bookseller.

The class is five weeks long and will meet November 3, 10, 17, 24, and December 1.
