Lenten Book Study

Lenten Book Study: Speaking Christian
Wednesdays in Lent, 12 Noon, Tyler Hall

Beginning Wednesday, March 4, 12:00 noon in Tyler Hall, we will explore Marcus Borg’s look into why Christian words have lost their power and how they can be restored.  In his introduction Borg states “Christian language has become a stumbling block in our time.  Much of its basic vocabulary is seriously misunderstood by Christians and non-Christians alike.  Big words like salvation, saved, sacrifice, redeemer, redemption, righteousness, repentance, mercy, sin, forgiveness, born again, second coming, God, Jesus, and Bible…have acquired meanings that are serious distortions of their biblical and traditional meanings.”
