Moorings
Adult Christian Education Committee, in conjunction with the Theological Center
in Naples, is pleased to announce that Sam and Bunny Sewell have again volunteered
to lead a Sunday Morning Biblical Exploration Class. Here is your opportunity
to grab a cup of coffee after the 10AM service, then join Sam and Bunny in
the Strozier Library from 11:15 to Noon, to discover how our Bible was written,
how scholars reconcile
apparent inconsistencies, to strengthen
your faith by learning how the Bible applies to us today, and still have time
to meet your friends for brunch afterward!
Biblical
Scholarship is not the same thing as Bible Study. This Biblical Scholarship
Program aims to provide a curriculum similar to that which is taught to clergy
at accredited seminaries. This unique adult education opportunity was
attended last season by Moorings regulars as well as several others from
our community at large. It will include an optional Q/A period after the class,
for those who are interested. The Sewell’s have been teaching Biblical
Scholarship in Naples for more than two decades. There is no tuition for this
class, however free will offerings are appreciated.
The primary resource for this extensive curriculum is the twelve volume Interpreter’s Bible. Obviously, participants will not be required to provide their own text books. Just show up with your own Bible, a note pad, pen or pencil, and highlighters. Sam and Bunny own the digital software of the Interpreter’s Bible, as well as the twelve volume set. The Interpreter’s Bible is also available in the Moorings Presbyterian Church Library. The contributors to the study materials are leading Biblical scholars who bring a wealth of fresh perspectives to Biblical interpretation. The contributors are also theologically diverse, reflecting a wide range of Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish backgrounds. Join us each Sunday to grow in your faith & knowledge of God’s Word.
