What do we do with biblical passages that have been used to justify discrimination, exclusion, or oppression? How do we distinguish between what Scripture says and what people have used Scripture to say?
Why do sincere people reach radically different conclusions from the same Scriptures—and what happens when those interpretations are used to determine who belongs, who holds power, and who is treated as less than equal?
Is the problem with these passages themselves, or with the ways we have interpreted and applied them?
Led by Pastor Daniel Park, October’s Taproom Theology will explore several historically difficult passages of Scripture—passages that have, at times, been used as weapons. 
Together, we’ll consider how interpretation shapes our understanding of Scripture, how these texts have been used throughout history, and how we as Christians can respond faithfully today.
