For most of us, the journey of faith has been full of detours, dead ends, and many, many unexpected turns. As we begin this fall, we are focusing on how the Bible has shaped the windy road of our spiritual lives.
One of the most influential books in human history, it is also a notoriously difficult book that has wreaked havoc, justifying cruelty, power-mongering, and the preservation of unjust systems. For good reason, it’s a problematic book for many people. And yet, we are asking ourselves and one another how the Bible might still speak today, particularly to those seeking faith and learning justice.
Specifically, we will mull over these questions throughout the month: What is my relationship with the Bible? How has it changed over time?
