Bible As Literature

Sundays at noon, after the coffee hour, in the Mirick Room, a few of us meet to read the Bible. The Bible was once the foundation of Western civilization and is still a revealing book for searchers. We are currently reading Proverbs, which, after chapter 9, hardly mentions God. Some proverbs ended up as Jesus' parables. We occasionally consult works of Biblical criticism, but basically we just open the Bible and read. Then we reflect on what the words mean to us. Result is quite a nice reflection on liberal religion. We are looking for another five people.
