Humanist Books of the Bible

Reading the Bible can be daunting from a secular humanist perspective, but some of its books embody essentially humanistic values such as respect for the “other,” gender equality and challenging unjust authority. Join us as we explore these and other themes as expressed in the Books of Jonah, Ruth, the Songs of Songs, Job and Ecclesiastes.


Hosted by progressive Jewish writer and scholar Bennett Muraskin, this free monthly session of the the Jewish Cultural School & Society's (JCSS) adult education series is open to all.
