Bible-plus-classics reading group, Session 1: Teachings

​A first session of a new discussion group that will pair Bible passages with classic texts. No beliefs required! These first five sessions will give you a comprehensive map of the Bible, alongside excerpts from authors like Camus and Shakespeare.

​For this intro session, “Teachings”, please read the passages from Exodus and Luke indicated in the link below, along with the first chapter of I See Satan Fall Like Lightning by René Girard. The reading should take about 1 hour.

​I recommend you do the scripture readings in a physical Bible if possible. We’ll default to KJV, but you can read it in whichever translation you prefer.

​Sessions will run for about 2 hours with a break in the middle. This first one might run a bit over; we’ll see.
