This is a friendly reminder that U3A Term 4 2020 has begun.? Our class on the Bible will recommence this Thursday 8 October 2020 from 11:00 AM to 12:30.? This term we're going to study two fascinating New Testament books: Galatians and Hebrews.
Galatians has been called the "Magna Carta of the Reformation."? Arguably Martin Luther's favourite book, it became the manifesto of freedom in Christ and was largely responsible for the revival of Biblical truth during the Protestant Reformation.? It's also been referred to as "Paul's little Romans".? Paul's instructions to the Galatians is considered his treatise on how justified believers should live, which makes it relevant today.
By contrast, the epistle to the Hebrews is one of the most neglected documents in the New Testament Canon, yet it covers many of the same topics.? Although unsigned, early Church Fathers considered it to be written by Paul or at the very least by someone in his circle.? But some influential post-Constantine movers and shakers debated whether it should be removed from the Canon, and some might argue that in the end, it survived in the Canon because it was deemed a Pauline letter and because it is a fabulous treatise on faith.
You have been sent the full log-in details, so I'll simply summarise them here:
Some of you may also be interested in the separate U3A class that I'm starting entitled U3A Term 4 2020 Course H10 Two Heroines in the Bible: Ruth and Esther.? It will start tomorrow 6 October at a different time, 10:30-12:00.? You are welcome to attend if you'd like.? Log-in is:?
