"Religionless Christianity: God's Answer to Evil" is the title of Eric Metaxas' latest book. In it, Mr. Metaxas details the chilling parallels between the German church of the 1930s and American churches some ninety years later. The same evil threatens us once again; the hour is late, and the time is short.

Class Materials: Slides and handouts may be downloaded here: click here.

Approach: In each gathering we will consider Mr. Metaxas' teaching as we work our way through his book. We'll have open discussion about what he has to say.

Leader: Pr. Mark Behenna will lead each of our eight sessions. You are welcome to contact him via email, mbehenna@faithabq.org, if you have any questions.

Time and Location: Each session will be repeated three times: Sunday at 9:00am and again at 10:30am, and the following Wednesday at 6:30pm. This class does not meet on eight consecutive weeks, so please consult Faith's calendar to identify which weeks we will meet.  All classes will convene in Faith Lutheran Church's Lecture Hall on the church's lower level.
