September 16 to November 25, 2023:  The Apocalypse - A Study of Bart Ehrman’s “Armageddon” with introductory and Concluding Sessions

 The Word of a Humble God, by Karen Keen

This accessible book is written from both a scholarly bent and pastoral concern.  Keen, from a Reformed tradition,  lives up to her title in this creative resource, and it also serves as an excellent introduction for the member in the pew, as she opens the door to a more nuanced, less literalist understanding of the Bible.   It begins on 3/18/23 with Larry Geraty.  The last 3 chapters are the best part of the book, ending with Karen Keen herself on 6/17/23

The New Testament According to Jesus, by James D.G. Dunn

July 1:  Presentation on Church with class leader Jim Walters

Followed by a Town Hall Discussion about the future of our Sabbath Seminars Class

This fine presentation was especially important as it set the stage for a valuable discussion about our class - its purpose, future, relationship to the University Church, and concern for its aging and ailing members.  Well worth a review of the video, and a bonus is class member John Testerman’s impromptu speech during the discussion time.
