Upcoming Adult Education: After a short break from Adult Education we
will begin on Sunday, May 8 with the topic of the Book of Revelation. A
friend of mine—Frederick Schmidt—says “if people read the Book of
Revelation at all, they read it with the-Bible-as-roadmap-to-the future
view. Over the years that approach has, in turn, spawned a left-behind
spirituality and theology, lending still more apparent authority to the
approach. Preoccupation with who will and who will not be delivered in
‘the last days’ has to be ‘left behind’ if others are to move into
heaven.” In other words, most of us misunderstand what this book is
about and what some of its strange language is about.
Come and participate in this study—it promises to be interesting to all of us. 9 a.m., Sunday, beginning on May 8.
