Wednesday Evening Book Study Group
The book study group will be held at Unity of Oak Park in person.
This month's book: The Gnostic Gospels by Elaine Pagels.
Location: Unity of Oak Park, 405 N. Euclid, Oak Park IL 60302
Parking available in the lot (Meeting in the Chapel on the first floor).
We will explore "The Gnostic Gospels," a book that illuminates the world of the first Christians and examines the different ways in which Gnostics (from the Greek "gnosis" meaning Knowledge, especially self-knowledge based on personal experience or perception of the divine) and Orthodox Christians constructed God, Christ, and the Church. Did Jesus literally rise from the dead? Was there only one God, and could he be both Father and Mother? Whose version of Christianity came down to us today and why did it prevail? And finally, how much does Unity thinking resemble the beliefs of some of the early Gnostics and Orthodox Christians? Copies of the book are available in the bookstore.
