Christian Formation – Lunch with Lael

Christian Formation – Lunch with Lael

Tuesdays at 11:30 AM.

Join Lael for a close reading of Cynthia Bourgeault’s book The Wisdom Jesus, available from libraries or your favorite bookstore.

This was the book that took me down a wonderful rabbit hole this past summer and led me to read more closely Jewish, early Christian, gnostic, and other wisdom texts. Bourgeault’s book is accessible, rich, and provocative, opening a fresh way of understanding Jesus while also providing practices to help you gain new insight for yourself. And for those of you who also like chasing footnotes, I have a fine collection of ancient texts (all in translation and some also in the original) and I’d be happy to share. Bring a bag lunch to enjoy during our session.

The group will tackle a chapter each week with time off for Holy Week and Easter Week.
