Reading the Bible from the Margins:
Stories from Below
an advent course by
Dr. Sylvia Keesmaat
with the Rt. Rev. Andrew Asbil, Bishop of Toronto
The biblical story is unexpectedly shaped by those at the margins: women, foreigners, the powerless. What if these stories are actually the centre of the story? What do they reveal about how we live out of this story today?
