Beginning March 20, 2024 [Please note the new date], I will be leading discussions of The Story of Christianity by David Bentley Hart. The book is an excellent summary of Christian history. We’ll meet at 7 p.m. on Wednesday. Paperback books will be available at the back of the sanctuary. Kindle and audio editions can be found online. We’ll cover pages ix through 47 the first time we gather.
The Story of Christianity is a concise, well-written account of Christian history. As Christians, this is our family history. Knowing where we’ve been helps us better understand where we are. But reading this book isn’t merely a utilitarian exercise. As Hart says, “… the true story of Christianity—when told in something like its full breadth—is immeasurably fascinating. It is even, one might say, rather exotic.” [1]
