Every once in a while, Jesus says something that leaves us perplexed: "Sell everything you own." "Hate your father and mother." An outer darkness with weeping and gnashing of teeth. With guidance from author Dr. Amy-Jill Levine, we will explore how these difficult teachings would have sounded to the people who first heard them, how have they been understood over time, and how we might interpret them in the context of the Gospel of love and reconciliation. Come learn together! Come be challenged, inspired, provoked, and comforted.
