According to the Publishers Weekly review, the book “provides a lucid historical analysis of the development of human religious though from the onset of selfconscious awareness to the present, and a compelling argument for the creation of a new religious paradigm… Arguing that modern scientific understanding necessitates dismissing outdated metaphors and assumptions by which faith seeks to calm human anxiety, Spong suggests an understanding of God not as a person, but as the process that calls personhood into being. … This work … offers new insights into religion’s big questions about life and death ….” It is available from amazon.com for $16.49 and from other major booksellers for comparable prices. For more information about this study contact Larry Merkle.

Beginning on Sunday, June 28th, we will begin a more in-depth look at Islam. All are welcome. We will be using Islam: A Mosaic, Not a Monolith by Vartan Gregorian as the primary reference for our study. It is our hope and prayer that by better understanding the beliefs and practices of our Muslim brothers and sisters we will be better prepared to engage them in meaningful dialog, and that we will gain a deeper understanding of our own faith as well as current events. Books for the class are available at Amazon or you can pick them up at a local bookstore. Otherwise a few books will be available at the first class.

His next class will be on Christianity and world religions. He will be using Adam Hamilton materials titled: Christianity and World Religions: Wrestling With Questions People Ask. This study covers the five main religions of the world including: Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, the Muslim faith as well as Christianity. This is a great opportunity to learn why we believe as we do and to learn what others believe as well. If there is an interest, Larry will use some other material to do a more extensive study of other world religions. The class will be held in the small classroom next to the meeting room on Sundays at 9:15 a.m. Larry will do an introduction of the class on March 1st, but the actual class will begin on March 15th. If you are interested in this study, please sign up at the Guest Desk in the Narthex so that we can ensure enough materials are ordered for those interested.
