Fall Book Club
Beginning Sept. 9, 2026
Wednesdays - 4:30 p.m.
Kelso Room
For centuries, Paul, the apostle who "saw the light on the Road to Damascus" and changed dramatically from zealous Pharisee persecutor to devoted follower of Jesus, has been one of the church's most widely cited early teachers. Yet for leading New Testament scholar and Anglican bishop N. T. Wright, most Bible scholars and pastors have not fully grasped what Paul was actually doing and why.
Join us for this weekly Book Club session, Wednesdays at 4:30 p.m. in the Kelso Room.
