The class examined how the Bible and its testaments came to exist, explored historical interpretations, and considered how scripture might do more than teach beliefs. We looked at how it could help us live with confidence and creativity in the present.

The Bible featured people in “in-between” times, leaving a past that no longer worked and heading into an unclear future. We explored the spiritual lessons learned from their examples, discovering insights for navigating our own uncertain transitions.

The class explored death through open discussions and reflections, delving into cultural perspectives, personal beliefs, and practical preparations. Participants gained a deeper understanding of this universal experience and discovered ways to approach it with acceptance and meaning.
