John Howard Yoder's

The Politics of Jesus

 

 

Day and time:  Wednesday evenings, 7:00-9:00pm

Location:  32 Colony West Drive, Champaign

Directions:  Off Prospect, just north of Windsor.

 

I'd like to invite everyone to join me in a Reading Group/Bible Study this summer that works around John Howard Yoder's The Politics of Jesus.

 

The title is a little deceptive for an accessible, fast-paced and concise book on theology and its application.  The book essentially meditates on what a "Messiah" really is (in Old and New Testament contexts), and how that should impact what it means to worship Christ.  We will read about a chapter per week for the Reading Group/Bible Study and also go over the Scriptural text that Yoder uses as we consider his arguments.  The book is a time-tested classic, and I hope you can join in!
