Friday Morning Bible Study
10:00 - 11:30 a.m. in the Parlor
Facilitator: Michelle McClendon
Topic: Seers and Sages - Prophetic and Wisdom Traditions in Hebrew Scripture

This course is an overview of the Prophetic and Wisdom Traditions in the books of Hebrew Scripture. In the fall, using the book Old Testament Prophets for Today by Carolyn Sharp, the class will explore the ancient prophetic texts for their meaning today. The second half of the course will focus on the wisdom tradition in Hebrew scripture, the sages, and what they might have to teach us. This part of the course will use The Tree of Life: An Exploration of Biblical Wisdom Literature as a guide. Other resources will be used as well. The course is discussion and lecture-based. The outside reading is helpful but not required.

Cost: $10 for materials. Group members are asked to purchase their own books in addition to this cost. Neither book is required for course participation. Both are available online, and links have been placed below for your convenience in ordering. If you have difficulty locating either book, please contact Michelle McClendon.
