About This Strange and Sacred Scripture: Wrestling with the Old Testament (Zoom)
Peachtree is excited to be partnering with Candler School of Theology to offer a class on the Old Testament for both Peachtree and Candler seminary students.
This class will address how the Old Testament can seem strange and even disturbing. Over ten weeks, participants will explore questions like: How do we make sense of texts that portray God as wrathful? Why does the Old Testament contain so much violence? What do we do with all of the strange laws and rituals? How can we respond to its portrayal of women, foreigners, and strangers? What do we make of topics like purity, holiness, justice, and lament in light of the challenges and realities of ministry today? How can we make sense of all the contradictions, and what does it mean to read the Old Testament as Christian Scripture? All are invited and welcome.
The cost for the course is $50.
