​Book Study: A Lens of Love
Reading the Bible in Its World for Our World
by Jonathan L. Walton
November 1- December 9 
 
​
In order to engage the Bible in the spirit of justice, compassion, and love, Jonathan L. Walton suggests reading the Bible in its world for our world. Perfect for individual or group study, A Lens of Love helps Christians to read and interpret the Bible morally and confidently as they engage society’s pressing issues. Walton provides interpretive tools to help understand the context of the Scriptures along with the Scriptures themselves in order to engage the richness of the Bible as they strive to live in the world in a biblically grounded, theologically sound, and socially responsible way.

Six Themes in Psalms Everyone Should Know
by Jerome F. D. Creach
October 12 - November 16

The Six Themes Everyone Should Know series introduces biblical books and their main themes. Each volume consists of six chapters that present major biblical themes; each chapter contains an introduction and three major sections: 

• An explanation of the theme
• The significance of the biblical theme for the life of faith
• An exploration of implications this biblical theme offers the church for its ministry

At the center of the Bible is the book of Psalms, a collection of 150 prayers that plumb the depths of human emotion. The Psalms reveal a God who desires relationship with all of creation and calls on us to reciprocate. Jerome Creach has provided a means to get to the heart of the Psalms in an accessible fashion using six important themes in the Bible’s book of “songs of praise.” This volume includes material for participants and guides for leading all six sessions.
