Open Table Faith

Looking for something to read this summer? We've got three new Open Table Faith book clubs starting soon and we'd LOVE for you to join us!

1. A STONE FOR A PILLOW
by Madeline L'Engle
Tuesdays 12pm
June 30 - August 4

DESCRIPTION: In this book for the curious, spiritual seeker, Madeleine L’Engle offers relevant lessons drawn from the life of Jacob from the Old Testament. Here, the son of Isaac becomes a spiritual companion to L’Engle, equipping her to deal with earthly and psychological struggles. Throughout her journey, L’Engle offers contemporary answers to questions that burden modern day readers and believers.

2. PLURIFORM LOVE: An Open & Relational Theology of Well-Being
by Thomas Jay Oord
Thursdays 12pm
July 2 - July 30

DESCRIPTION: A strong case can be made that love is the core of Christian faith. And yet Christians often fail to give love center stage in biblical studies and theology. And most fail to explain what they mean by love. Why is this? Thomas Jay Oord explores this question and offers ground-breaking answers. Oord addresses leading Christian thinkers today and of yesteryear. He explains biblical forms of love, such as agape, philia, hesed, and ahavah.

3. THE JUSTICE OF JESUS
by Joash P. Thomas
Thursdays 2pm
July 2 - July 30

DESCRIPTION: In The Justice of Jesus, public theologian and international speaker Joash Thomas reveals how authentic biblical faith naturally leads to caring for the vulnerable and working for positive change in our neighborhoods. Drawing from his unique perspective serving in churches across different cultures and continents, Thomas shows how justice isn't just a "social issue"--it's at the very heart of what it means to follow Christ.
