Hi folks,
This Sunday, March 4 at 9:15 a.m. John Snodgrass, Biblical scholar and author of the recently released book Genesis and the Rise of Civilization, will conclude his two sessions on "Seed of Abraham."
How did God choose the "chosen people"? We read in the Bible that God chose a pure ethnic race to inherit the earth. And yet our Bible also contains traces of an older story where God chose a suffering class of peasants, drop-outs and renegades from diverse ethnic backgrounds. In this course we'll un-tangle the "family tree" of Israel to view the Tribal Revolution as a social (not racial) movement, and then retrace the steps by which the history was changed. Copies of Snodgrass's book will be available for $10.
