Life and death in biblical narratives. (Imagination)

suject Life and death in biblical narratives. (Imagination)
content Faced with suffering and the end, how does the Bible guide us to contemplate life and death? This course begins with biblical narratives, revisiting the suffering of Job and Jesus to learn to honestly confront grief and offer companionship; it also imagines Jesus as a grief counselor, empathizing with the hidden pain often overlooked within a community; and it explores themes of preconceived care and life reflection from the perspectives of the cross, the testaments of the saints, and creation. We cordially invite you to join this course in reconstructing your understanding of life and death, finding hope and strength to move forward!
