How (Not) To Read the Bible

  • 204 S. Freeman St. (map)

Tired of people using the Bible to justify racism, misogyny, and homophobia? So are we.

Do you sometimes wonder:

  • How can we make sense of the violence we find in the Bible?

  • Is there a way to read the Bible that doesn’t lead to blind obedience?

  • Is the Bible still useful for inspiring a genuinely good spirituality?

Join us for a 6-week Zoom class every Wednesday night starting May 4th, to learn how you can read scripture from an intelligent, faithful, and radically inclusive perspective. RSVP below for the Zoom link.
