Biblically Literate Book Club

I’m excited about a new venture, and you’re invited to join in.

I’ve wanted to start a book club for quite a while, and since I’m not getting any younger, I decided to just do it. I had a good idea over Lent as I thought about possibilities. I decided to take a Biblical passage and a book (or a play) for each month and really study them together. I plan to read the Bible passage each day, sometimes in a different translation, sometimes slowly and carefully sometimes sweeping through to get the big picture, and see how the Lord speaks through His word and how I can apply the Biblical truths of the passage to my life. I hope the books will mesh in some way with the Bible readings to illuminate one another, especially the Bible illuminating the works of human authors. We’ll see how that works.

So, I’ve started a blog just for the book club. The blog is a work-in-progress since Computer Guru Son plans to spruce it up a bit, but you’re welcome to visit and comment and join in on the reading. Please, if you plan to read with us, leave a comment.

One thought on “Biblically Literate Book Club

  1. I had a fine time reading and discussing two books online with some fellow bloggers last Fall……and then everyone got busy (eh, busier).

    Since I live so far away, I dont think I’ll make it by for tea, but I do appreciate the structure you’ve added to my reading list for the remainder of 2008.
