Join Subdeacon Thaddeus for Adult Bible Study starting Thursday, September 28th. We will meet every Thursday evening at 7:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. We will be studying The Gospel According to Luke and the Acts of the Apostles.
These books were both written by the same man, Luke the Physician. Luke, a Gentile Christian, wrote the books for another Gentile Christian named Theophilus so that he would “know the certainty of the things you have been taught.” In the Gospel, Luke gives a carefully compiled history of our Lord Jesus Christ, his birth, ministry, death, and resurrection. In Acts, he continues with the history of the early Church from its humble beginnings in Jerusalem to its spread to the very heart of the empire, Rome itself.
We will study the books in order, from beginning to end, one section at a time just as they flowed from Luke's pen. As we read, we will pause frequently to reflect on the meaning of what we are reading and what implications it has for our lives. This is where we will have an opportunity to share our knowledge, experiences, and insight with each other. We will also consider the commentaries of the Church Fathers. This way of working together makes each meeting fairly self-contained, so if you need to miss a few meetings, you can easily rejoin the group later.
Everyone should bring a Bible to class. The Orthodox Study Bible is highly recommended, but not necessary.
