Christian Origins Book Club
The Christian Origins Book Club is a space for thoughtful, faithful conversation about the roots of our tradition and the questions that still shape our lives today. Together, we read books connected to Christian origins, biblical scholarship, theology, history, justice, discipleship, and contemporary faith. We come with curiosity, humility, and a willingness to be challenged, because broadening our perspectives is part of deepening our faith.
About the book!
What if the Jesus you thought you knew has been waiting to surprise you? That's the heart of our next book club selection, Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time by Marcus Borg. We'd love for you to join us as we read it together!
Borg invites us to set aside the assumptions and inherited images many of us carry, and to encounter Jesus fresh: as a teacher of wisdom, a voice for justice, and a living presence who calls us toward compassion.
What You'll Take Away
-
A renewed picture of Jesus: one grounded in scholarship, scripture, and Spirit, that may challenge and expand your beliefs.
-
Meaningful conversation: space to listen, to share your own story, and to learn from the diverse voices around the table.
-
A closer community: because faith was never meant to be walked alone. We grow best when we grow together!
-
A deeper, more grounded faith: the freedom to ask hard questions without fear, and to find your spiritual life growing stronger for it.
You belong here! Come as you are. Bring your questions, your doubts, and your hopes.
