Special ZOOM Apocrypha Study Begins January 13th

jmartwalNews & Events

The Prayer of Manasseh, Psalm 151, and The Third Book of Maccabees are three short books from the Apocrypha that were not included in the Old Testament.  Manasseh’s prayer deals with God’s commitment to show mercy for sinners who are willing to repent.  The 151st Psalm is a David Psalm.  Third Maccabees describes the challenges of Second Temple era Jewish immigrants living in a sometimes-hostile foreign land.  This study also serves as an introduction to the Apocrypha and the Greek Septuagint.

It will not be necessary to have a Bible that includes the Apocrypha to participate in this study.  The passages we will be reading will be included in the handouts on the website. 

For this five-session study, videos will be posted to the website each week, and there will be a ZOOM discussion the following Monday. The first Zoom discussion session will be at 6:30 pmon Monday, January 13. A sign-up sheet will be in the Narthex or you may send an email to [email protected].

If you have additional questions, please contact Charlie Walden or send an email to [email protected]. An in-person discussion session is also an option if there is enough interest.  See Charlie or make a note on the sign-up sheet in the Narthex if you would prefer the in-person option.
