What's On?
Theology Night
đź“… Monday 15th of September
⏰7pm-9pm
đź“ŤPeter & Cheryl Meers’ House
Our next theology night is coming up and it will be on the multi-vocality of the Bible. The Bible wasn’t written by one voice, or even one era. It’s a library of testimonies, arguments, songs, laws, and letters that sometimes harmonise and sometimes disagree. Multi-vocality isn’t a problem to solve but a gift to receive. In this theology night, we’ll explore how diverse and even contradictory perspectives within Scripture deepen Christian faith, sharpen discernment, and equip us to read outside of our own context with wisdom.
Topics We’ll Cover:
Major assumptions of the origin of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible and why they are problematic.
The fluidity, complexity, and historical messiness of the canonisation of the Old Testament/ Hebrew Bible.
What the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Septuagint, and the New Testament tell us about the development of canonical consciousness.
This night is for anybody who is curious, and wants to understand the Bible with a more open mind. No prior theology knowledge or training is required.
If you are interested in coming along, please RSVP to Oran so we can get an idea of numbers.
