Bible Study, March 11

An overdue post about the next Bible Study, which will meet on Wednesday March 11 at 7:30, following our session on Lectio Divina.

We will reflect on Jesus the teacher during this week's session. Our study will focus on two main documents: Jesus' Sermon on the Mount (found in Matthew 5-7) and the collection of Jesus' teachings recorded in the Gospel of Thomas.

The Gospel of Thomas was only rediscovered about 60 years ago, although it was known because of frequent references to it in ancient Christian writings. It is believed to have been written in the 1st Century, though the earliest fragments of it date to the 2nd Century. Unlike the canonical gospels, the gospel does not relate the story of Jesus' life, but is only a collection of Jesus' teachings, some found in the canonical gospels, some not.
