Five Week Bible
Study
on John's Revelation to the Church
August 11, 18, 25, Sept 1, 8 from 6:30-7:30pm
The Book of Revelation was written to be read out loud to real
congregations in ancient Western Asia Minor (modern day Turkey) and yet
the message is relevant today. John's Revelation is an exciting book,
with a broad range of interpretations, that has remained hotly debated and
contested throughout the history of Christianity. A classic example of
apocalyptic writing it is rich with metaphors, allusions, and musical
lyrics. Written to be interpreted in community, the meaning of the text
comes alive within an interactive adult Bible study. Given the popularity
of the block-buster best selling "Left Behind" books and movies that
claim to be based on Revelation, it is important that Christians discover
that Revelation was written to be a source of hope, not something to fear.
Robyn Morrison, the facilitator and instructor for the Bible study, has a
Master of Divinity from the Pacific School of Religion. Please join us
for this five week class - August 11, 18, 25, Sept 1, 8 - in the Heritage
Room.
