Suggested Questions for Further Discussion/Thought



  1. Some of the most controversial Christian beliefs, such as the role of
    women in the church, fi nd clear support in the Bible. How do we
    determine if these simply refl ect the culture of the time or if they are more
    universal?

  2. What is the center of the universe for you? How is that working for you?

  3. How deep are you willing to go in Bible study? Are you willing to
    consider sources other than those that support what you already think
    you believe?

  4. Take a story or parable from the Bible. Read it with a friend and take
    turns retelling it. Note what you added and what you left out, and then
    ask yourselves why?
