This six-week course is designed for learners who want to read William P. Brown’s book Sacred Tension in community with an instructor and other learners. The course will provide a schedule for reading the book so you can read and reflect on the material throughout the week, then share your reflections with others. It may be of special interest if you have taken the “Teaching Sacred Tension to Local Congregations” course, allowing you to familiarize yourself with the whole book before leading a course in your local church.  

This will be a comfortable and relaxed approach to reading the book while still having dialogue with others. You will learn how to view the different perspectives in Scripture as a dialogue instead of contradiction or errors. 

Learners are required to obtain this book:  Sacred Tension by William Brown

In addition to brief Blackboard interactions, 6 required Zoom meetings will be held: on Thursdays from 7-8 pm Eastern time. The meetings will not be recorded. Learners not interested in the CEU and certificate are welcome to participate in just the Zoom sessions, as able.

This course is eligible for 0.75 CEU.
