Reproduced from an email I sent yesterday. Next time I will send it to the entire email list.
Dear friends-
Ever wonder why parts of the Bible are so violent, especially towards women?
Ever wonder wonder why "God was so angry" back in OT times?
Ever wonder why some books are included in the Bible despite theirviolent history?
If so, then you are cordially invited to/ reminded of the Adult Bible Study this Wednesday evening. We continue our Forgotten Books of the Bible series with the Book of Nahum. Only three chapters long, Nahum contains some of the most violent, evocative poetry in the entire Bible, glee over the fall of an enemy, and perhaps, just perhaps, a rival goddess lurking in the text...
We will begin with Evening Prayer promptly at 7:15 in the upstairs chapel, followed by Bible Study in the lounge.
I hope to see you there.
Pax,
Vicar David
