If you are interested in an introduction to the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, why not start at the beginning? This one session class will examine the two creation stories found in Genesis One and Genesis Two. Participants will get a feel to the rhythm and syntax of the Hebrew scripture. Each story will open your eyes to a few of the good questions to ask when studying scripture. We will look at the similarities and differences in the stories and discuss their importance for the audience in which they were each written. This will lead us to reflect a bit more deeply on their value for today's reader. |

Description of UUBiblestudy Classes
I find the computer platform a creative place for learning! Even though each class varies in length and structure, there are some things that will be consistent with every program.
- Reading the bible can be a new experience. The rhythm of words and phrases is different than the American English. Michele is experimenting with something new! She will record herself or someone else reading or telling the story as a way to engage those in this class. Sometimes it is difficult to read a story but it comes to life when it is read or told to you. Elements of this storytelling will be a part of each offered class.
- Each class will have at least one video conference where participants can get to know the facilitator, Michele Grove. It will also be a time to get to know others in the class, introduce the materiel and understand how the rest of the class will evolve.
- There will be no required homework. However, readings from the scripture along with outside support reading will be available for your pleasure.
- Each class will have room for discussion through a chat board or in person. Participation is not required but it is available. Questions and wisdom from participants makes this a richer experience for everyone.
- This program is set up so that you can learn at your own pace. You set your own goals and take from the class what you need.
- Each class is given a credit value. This does not translate to other forms of education but is used for marking your own progress. As you start to gain credits, you will also gain discounts on future classes!
