Adult Bible StudyThe Magnificent Defeat by Frederick Buechner Monday, at 1 pm Tuesday, at 7:00 pm Library Kingston Parish House |
Fall class began join September with two different times for the convenience of all. We meet Mondays at 1 PM and Tuesdays at 7 PM.
The book we are studying ,The Magnificent Defeat by Frederick Buechner, is described on his web site: "In his debut sermon collection, Frederick Buechner explores an array of fascinating topics, from reflections on the incarnation, birth, life, death, and resurrection of Christ, to examinations of what it means to be childlike, saintlike, and a disciple.Written and delivered while Buechner was chaplain at the Phillips Exeter Academy, many of the sermons are an apologia for Christianity: ‘My job’, he writes of that time in Now and Then (1983), ‘was to defend the Christian faith against its “cultured despisers”, […] to present the faith as appealingly, honestly, relevantly, and skillfully as I could.’ In sermons such as ‘The Triumph of Love’, the reader catches glimpses of the themes that would become central to Buechner’s life and work.
You are welcome to come to class without having read the book.
