Book Discussion

Join us on select Sundays at 8:30 a.m. for a thoughtful and engaging Adult Education gathering as we journey through The Experience of God: Being, Consciousness, Bliss by David Bentley Hart.

In this remarkable book, Hart—an acclaimed Orthodox Christian scholar and theologian—invites readers to reconsider what we mean when we speak about God. Rather than focusing on debates between belief and unbelief, he explores the rich traditions of Christian thought and the deeper philosophical questions that have shaped humanity’s understanding of the divine for centuries. Hart examines God as the ground of being, the source of consciousness, and the fulfillment of bliss, challenging readers to think beyond familiar assumptions and discover a more expansive vision of faith.

Whether you are a lifelong student of theology, someone wrestling with big questions, or simply curious about the relationship between God and human experience, this group offers a welcoming space for conversation, reflection, and learning. No advanced background in philosophy or theology is required—just a willingness to read, listen, and explore together.

Our discussions are relaxed, respectful, and enriched by the diverse perspectives of those who gather around the table each week. The goal is not to arrive at all the answers, but to deepen our understanding and encourage one another along the way.

Please join us for this adventure in faith and thought. For upcoming meeting dates and additional information, contact John Spurlock. We would be delighted to have you with us as we continue this fascinating exploration together.
