Heaven & Hell

Despite the attention heaven and hell receive in popular religious conversation,these concepts have only a limited role in the Bible.When used biblically, heaven and hell refer not to places to but to states of relationship with God.In this class,we will explore 4 biblical stories related to these concepts:The Garden(Gen 2-3),the beginning and end of the story of Job;the gospel of Matthew's notion of the "kingdom of heaven,"and the conclusion of Revelation about the "new heaven and new earth." Led by The Reverand John Bracke.  Childcare must be requested 1 week prior to classes; please call 822-2240.
