St. John’s Book Club

Description

Join us each Tuesday for St. John’s Book Club, a weekly opportunity to read, learn, and discuss together as part of our adult Christian education program.

This fall we’ll be reading Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why by Bart D. Ehrman, exploring the origins of the New Testament and how the biblical text has been transmitted through history. We’ll discuss one section each week, with everyone encouraged to read the assigned pages beforehand.

The group is open to everyone. No registration is required, and participants are welcome to join at any point and attend as their schedules allow.
