Starting on February 6^th our Faith Discussion Group will be reading and discussing Brant Pitre’s book Jesus and the Jewish Roots of Mary Unveiling the Mother of the Messiah.  The best way to describe this book is to present some of the praise other authors have written about it.
 
Scott Hahn – “I did not think a single book could be written about Mary that would excite and unite Catholic and Protestant readers – scholars, clergy, and laity alike. What Pitre does with the Bible and Marion typology is clear and compelling.  A joy to read, plus this is the best biblical study of Mary I have ever read. A true masterpiece.”
 
Jennifer Fulwiler – “Brant Pitre takes important theological truths and makes them not only interesting but exciting.  This book will revolutionize your understanding of the most important woman in history.”
 
Our discussion group generally discusses a chapter each week.  A typical discussion includes identifying expressions or interpretations of scripture that are surprising, usually best described by the response “…I never thought of that” or “I never knew that”..  The facilitators are adept at developing questions that bring the material into focus and generate stories and testimony that “connect the dots”.   I think every member would say they know more about their faith and have made great friends as a result of the books we study and discuss.  We hope to see you on Thursday nights! 



 
Meetings are held in the education building of the Fellowship Hall on Thursdays starting at 7 PM. For more information or if you have a question please call the Ministry Heads.
