Adult Forum

Adult Forum meets at 10 AM in the Library. We will discuss a book, The Meaning of Jesus: Two Visions, by Marcus J. Borg and N.T. Wright. This is a book in which the leading liberal and conservative Jesus scholars present the heart of the historical Jesus debate. For those who have always been curious about such questions as: Was Jesus God? Did he intentionally die to redeem humankind? Was he bodily resurrected from the dead? This book gives historical insight into these, and other, issues. Come between the services with coffee in hand and join us for a lively discussion. Contact Dean Lewis for more information.
