An Introduction to the Bible

From Genesis to Revelation in 8 weeks!

Rev. Sharon is offering an introductory Bible Study course on Saturday mornings at 9:00 running from January 22nd to March 12th. The course will provide:

• an understanding of the many different voices   and types of literature within;
• the history and context of the people of Israel and their story;
• The Torah, Psalms and the Prophetic books;
• the Hebrew scriptures as the context for the New Testament;
• the portrait of Jesus from the different Gospels;
• the history of the early church through the  letters;
• a history of how the Bible came to be what it is today.
  

What do some participants say about Sharon’s Introduction to the Bible course? They only had time for high-speed quotes in the high-speed classes but there's a definite trend to high satisfaction! “fascinating” … “Sharon’s a real story-teller” … “awesome” … “first time in years I’ve wanted to read the Bible” … “whirlwind but informative” … “fabulous” … “fast-paced but informative and interesting” …”terrific” … “my first bible study and I find it very user-friendly” … “Sharon’s got energy and enthusiasm and a gift for entertaining” … “Sharon is professorial in her depth of knowledge” … “love it, stimulating” … “through Sharon’s story telling she makes the bible more understandable and relevant” …

Sharon’s next class is the Inquirer’s Class, which is for adults who want to learn about the Episcopal Church and might want to be received or confirmed. Watch for the dates in May.
