The Bible Study will resume on Sunday, October 12, at 8:30 am. Ellie Eisenberg will be teaching "Pericopes and Parables: Exploring Parallels and Personalities in The Testaments". (The term "pericope" simply means a selection from a book, like a cut-out. "Parable" is a short story – fictional, that is illustrative of a moral attitude or religious principle.)

Please bring your Bible (any version other than "The Good News" or "The Message"). If you don't have one, Bibles will be available. Please prepare by reading Genesis 24:1-67 (this is the longest narrative in the entire Torah) which is often referred to as "A Bride for Isaac". We will point out some neat and helpful literary devices in this narrative and discuss the theological messages it holds. If it is read ahead, we can move through it more readily. We will also be discussing topics and themes for the coming year. Everyone is welcome, even if you’ve never read or studied Scripture before.
