Fall Session 2025: Books that Formed Us
For the Fall we will explore a variety of topics, since Don and I can't come up with a particular topic we think will be valuable for the whole period. As we often have, we should like someone to guide us through the Advent season.
Doug Olena will draw from a variety of books for his offerings: The Language God Talks, by Herman Wouk, Belief in God in an Age of Science, by John Polkinghorne, Letters and Papers from Prison, by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Lois Olena will provide something from her new edited volumes: I Was a Stranger and You Took Me In, and The Writings of Renée Griffith Grantham. Don Tosh will provide a variety from his world. And if there are any volunteers outside this group, please speak up now.
