How can you raise ethical kids? Do you like many things about the Bible but have reservations about some parts that don’t seem relevant or right for people today? Childcare is available while this group meets.

When Rachel Held Evans found herself asking these questions, she began a quest to better understand what the Bible is and how it is meant to be read.

What she discovered changed her and it will change you too.Drawing on the best in recent scholarship and using her well honed literary expertise, Evans examines some of our favorite Bible stories and possible interpretations, retelling them through memoir, original poetry, short stories, soliloquies, and even a short screenplay.
