Church

[close] A group for those interested in studying the Church Fathers and the early Church more generally, including the early theologians.

[close] Whether we realize it or not, everyone is a theologian. A theologian is anyone who holds beliefs about God, His character, and His work in the world. This includes all people, even those who deny God’s existence, because all of us shape our lives around certain understandings of God and His creation. While not all are professional theologians, we all engage in theology simply by thinking about who God is and how He relates to us. The aim of this group is to encourage one another to become faithful theologians by studying solid, biblically grounded books and immersing ourselves in Scripture. Together, we seek to deepen our knowledge of God and grow in love for His truth. Join us in this pursuit of learning and growth in Christ.

[close] The best books about Atheism are, in my opinion, the ones by Paulo Bittencourt: “Wasting Time on God” and “Liberated from Religion”. Unlike Dawkins, Hitchens and Harris, who have never been believers in God, Paulo Bitencourt speaks from experience: he was an Evangelical and studied Theology to be a pastor.

[close] The Mormon's Book group is reading Joseph Smith's 1830 religious narrative, "The Book of Mormon". Smith called it 'the keystone' of the Church of Jesus Christ of Ladder-Day Saints religion. What does it say and why? How does it convey its messages and narratives? Join us, give the book a read, and let us know your thoughts and experiences.
