Flannery O'Connor Book Study
Through tales of violence, hatred, illness, and oddness, Flannery O’Connor presents her readers
with opportunities to ponder the limitations of human understandings of truth, by way of
peculiar characters in peculiar situations. Like Jesus, Flannery tells strange stories. Flannery’s
strange short stories rattle and puzzle the reader while subtly revealing grace.
Beginning April 22 and ending June 3, Pastor Jabe will be leading a Tuesday evening class at 6pm on Flannery and her works entitled: Beauty in Suffering. We will make use of her
short stories and a couple of documentaries for our material. Participants will need to purchase
their own copy of her Complete Stories or Collected Works. For the class to be taught, a
minimum of 5 participants must sign up.
