Meeting God in the Bible: God's Work and Our Work

A Celebration of Scripture in three sessions:

I. God's Revelation in Human History   The introductory session will "unpack," in plain language, what the Church means by biblical revelation and will explore revelation in connection with Jesus' farewell address in the gospel of John.

II. Exile: God's Work in Our Lives    The second talk will focus on the meaning and relevance of Israel's Exile to the lives of people today, with flashes of genius from the prophet Jeremiah.
 

III. Ezekiel's Visions of Restoration   In the final session we will take in the importance of the formal study of Spiritual Experience to see Ezekiel's visions of the restoration of the People of God in chapters 1, 9-11, and then 40-48.  These chapters are often dismissed as bewildering or even scary, but on careful examination, they may actually look quite familiar to people who are used to encountering God in sacraments.
