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.
In a time of deep division and public injustice, what might it look like to take the teachings of Jesus seriously? Join us this summer for a bold and challenging conversation about The Politics of Jesus.
Our Summer Book Club will dive into Obery M. Hendricks Jr.’s compelling exploration of Jesus’ teachings on justice, freedom, and the ways faith speaks powerfully to public life. A biblical scholar, minister, and social activist, Hendricks invites readers to encounter Jesus in fresh, challenging, and deeply relevant ways.
In this study, you’ll discover:
—a richer understanding of Jesus’ historical world
—engaging conversation and shared reflection
—fresh insight into what faithful discipleship can look like today
—meaningful connection with others on the journey of faith
Discussions will be led by our pastor, Rev. James Admans.
Session dates:
Part 1 – June 7th & June 28th (attend one or both)
Part 2 – July 12th
Part 3 – August 9th
We’d love to have you with us! All are welcome.
