Our Lenten course on How can we read the Bible? begins with its first online session this Tuesday 11 March, at 8pm. At this first session, Anders will introduce one of the main ways in which the Bible was read for the first fourteen Christian centuries – as a text full of allegories and below-the-surface meanings. Come and find out what Genesis 1.21 (“And God created every winged bird of every kind”) really means – at least, according to St Augustine.
The course, led by Gary, is a combination of onZoom and in-person sessions. The five Tuesday evening online sessions will introduce some very different ways in which the Bible can and has been read within the church. The four Sunday afternoon in-person sessions (3.30pm in church, starting on 16 March) will look at particular texts. The Zoom sessions and the text sessions belong together, but you can come to all of the one and none of the other, or to all of both, or to some of the first and some of the second. Mix and match as your diary allows. The code for every online session is the same:
