Welcome to Mondays @ 7

Mondays @ 7 is an open Bible study hosted by the Wesley House at the University of Montana.

This semester we will focus on books that didn't make it into the First or Second Testaments,but which shaped our church, our faith, and our history.

In February we will be looking into Jesus' "Reading List": What books might Jesus have known? What can the Gospels tell us about the ideas that influenced the way he preached and taught? In March, we'll look at other folks living in Palestine around Jesus' time, especially the Pharisees and Sadducees, and see what scriptures might have influenced them, and through their attitudes, us as well. Finally, in April we'll look at the stories about Jesus that didn't make it into the four Biblical Gospels, including the Gospel of Judas, the Gospel of Mary, The Gospel of Thomas, and the Gospel of Truth.

I will post readings and questions by Saturday afternoon for each of the sessions. Email if you want to be on my email list.

As you've surely guessed, we will meet at the Wesley House (1327 Arthur Avenue across from Miller Hall)at 7pm every Monday of the semester (except spring break). I hope to see you there!

As ever..."Always Welcome; Never Required."
