The fall edition of Sacred Pursuits begins on September 17, (6:00 pm, in the church parlor) with an introduction to “Christianity: the First Three Thousand Years.” This NY Times best-seller expands on much of the material introduced in last year’s study of “Zealot.”
While purchase of the book is encouraged, Pastor Norman will provide transcriptions of relevant portions of chapters covered. Author Diarmaid MacCullogh is a world-renowned scholar currently teaching at Oxford. The first chapters will cover the context and impact of world history and cultures into which Jesus was born, ministered, and the church evolved.
