Evers Bible Class - A Gentle Ramble through the Bible

                   Joshua 6 thru Judges 2:9   Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho  This class is for the skeptics in the bunch. Walls falling down when you shout at them? The sun standing still for 24 hours? Must we suspend all laws of physics? What about Biblical Inerrancy? What do we do with all this stuff?  We tackle these tough questions. There is room for everyone at the table--the skeptics and the literalists. We finish up Joshua today and get the Israelites settled in the Promised Land.  A free Study Guide is available. A video version of the class is available on YouTube.   More info at EversBibleClass.com .

                  Joshua 1-5   Entering the Promised Land  World powers at war. Migrations of displaced peoples. And the Promised Land is caught in the crossfire. Israel readies itself to enter the Promised Land and God shows up in a big way. In fact, the Commander of the Lord's Army shows up. I wonder who that is? Lots of things happen in this liminal space as Israel crosses over from slavery into the land of promise. Cutting off, heaping up, spies and sex workers--it all comes together in a dramatic way as we follow the Israelites across the Jordan River. A free Study Guide is available. A video version of the class is available on YouTube.   More info at EversBibleClass.com .

                 Deuteronomy   Moses' Parting Shot  If you were leading these stiff-necked, stubborn folks, what last words would you say to them? How would you persuade them to choose good things over bad things? How would you convince them that God loves them and will care for their every possible need, if they haven't understood that already? Moses tries everything--telling them, giving them object lessons, writing it all down, telling them to write the important stuff on their hands and their foreheads, appointing (and praying for) a new leader, and even teaching them a song! We finish the Torah, the first five books of the Bible today. What  would you write on your forehead? What have you discovered about God? A free Study Guide is available.
