SUNDAY ADULT FORMATION GROUP –-  9:00 – 10:15  ON VACATION

We have concluded our reading and discussion of “How We Learn to be Brave” by Bishop Budde.  Beginning July 1, the group will be on “vacation” until the first Sunday after Labor Day, September 7, 9:00 AM.   We have chosen a newly released book by Dan McClellan, Ph.D. (4/25) titled:

The  Bible Says So:  What We Get Right (and Wrong) About Scripture’s Most Controversial Issues.  

The Bible is the world’s most influential book, but do we really know what it says? Every day across social media and in homes, businesses, and public spaces, people try to cut debate short by claiming that “the Bible says so!” However, they commonly disagree about what it actually does and doesn’t say, particularly when it comes to socially significant issues. For instance, does the Bible say we should be on the lookout for an antichrist associated with the number 666? Does it say women shouldn’t wear revealing clothing? Does it say it’s okay to hit your kids?

Dan McClellan is an award-winning public scholar of the Bible. He has over one million followers on social media, and tens of thousands more tune in to his online classes and his Data Over Dogma Podcast. Dan received his PhD from the University of Exeter. He worked previously as a scripture translation supervisor for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and is currently an honorary fellow at Birmingham University’s Cadbury Centre for the Public Understanding of Religion.  (Amazon)

No registration is required; we will meet at 9:00 AM – 10:15 AM in the first floor conference room each Sunday beginning September 7, 2025.  Participants are encouraged to read the introduction and Chapter 1 prior to group.  Your favorite book store or Amazon is the place to find this book.
