why "resistance" bible study

Christianity is reflected in American culture in profound ways.  So the ways we interpret the Bible have serious political consequences.  Here we'll look fearlessly and critically at both the Bible and the daily news, and prayerfully seek guidance for our activism to preserve our endangered freedoms.

But it is also part of the solution.  Faithfully following Jesus' law of love inspires us to stand up for full LGBTQ equality, civil rights, immigrant rights, women's rights, environmental protection, and robust social insurance and universal health coverage for all - especially for the most vulnerable of our fellow citizens.  Studying the historical roots of the Bible, without super-naturalistic presumptions, primes us to promote scientific and social progress and fact-based, compassionate public policies.
