The St. John’s Book Group invites all readers to join its sessions.  Meetings are held on Wednesdays at 6:00 in the Pioneer Room.  There are also plans for monthly or quarterly meetings, in the homes of group members, for open discussion and prayer support.  The first text chosen by the group is Jesus, the latest book by Marcus Borg, published in 2006.  Over the past few years, the book discussion group has read and discussed about a dozen books, ranging from historical texts and inspirational works to studies on Biblical and other religious topics.  Our usual pace is a chapter per session.  Discussion is lively and thought-provoking.  All are welcome.

The course curriculum includes a set of 20-minute video lectures by Dr. Bart D. Erhman, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  After the video presentation, the participants will break up into small groups to discuss two to three probing questions.
