Poverty,Empire and the Bible: Learning to Read the Bible Off-Center. In this four-week study, we will look at how to approach the biblical texts in ways that open up the text, center the perspectives and stories of those who are poor and marginalized in society. We will:

Investigate early Quaker tradition for models of re-reading the Bible.

Look at how the Bible provides tools for re-engaging with these critical issues.
