The book for our June Book Club is Jesus: a short life by John Dickson. Recent developments have blurred the view of Jesus for ordinary people. The popular imagination has been captured by conspiracy theories propounded by highly-charged accounts loosely connected to gnostic writings. In 11 chapters, which cover the historicity of the New Testament, Jesus' birth and family, his historical context, teachings, miracles, death, resurrection and subsequent appearances, John Dickson clears away the mists of speculation and fantasy, revealing the founder of Christianity in sharp focus. The book can be purchased from the booknook.
Our meeting is June 4 at the home of Lisa Byrnes, starting at 7:45pm.
