Sundays in Summer Adult Christian Education Please join the clergy this summer as they facilitate a 14-part series on ‘The Book of Genesis.’ This course is taught by Professor Gary A. Rendsburg, Rutgers University, through DVD lectures. Complimenting his highly acclaimed approach to Jewish scripture and history, this weekly class will explore the often astonishingly sophisticated literary devices and techniques that belie the deceptively simple sentences and stories that are familiar to us.
· Why does Genesis have two creation stories?
· How do we reconcile apparent contradictions?
· Why are there repeated appearances of barren women and younger sons?
· What is the theological purpose of Genesis’ 21st century meaning?
In the first 11 chapters of Genesis, we see a universal story, a universal perspective, describing the relationship between God and humanity in general. People like Adam and Noah are not Israelites, in the strict sense; rather they represent all humanity.
June 7: Why is the Book of Genesis so important to read and understand?
June 14: The First Creation Story
June 21: The Second Creation Story
June 28: The Flood
July 5: The Story of Abraham
July 12: Abraham Put to the Test
July 19: Women in the Bible, Sarah and Hagar
July 26: A Bride for Isaac
August 2: Barren Woman and Youngest Son
August 9: Jacob and Esau

August 23: Joseph and His Brothers

Please join them in the Library at 9 a.m. All are welcome!
