Illuminate Bible Study Group

Illuminate is a bible study group at East Redland Anglican lead by The Rev. Cameron Freese.

We are currently studying N.T Wright’s “Simply Christian” over the next 10 sessions

Please join us the 2nd and 4th Thursday’s of the month at 6pm at St Paul’s Cleveland.

This course addresses the question of the reasonableness of the Christian faith in the modern world. It features N. T. Wright and is based on his best-selling book Simply Christian: Why Christianity Makes Sense. In this ten-session course, Wright begins by exploring what seem to be universal longings — for justice and relationship, spirituality and beauty — and goes on to simply and powerfully explain the core of Christian faith.

N.T. Wright is the former Bishop of Durham in the Church of England and one of the world’s leading Bible scholars. He is now serving as the Chair of New Testament and Early Christianity at the School of Divinity at the University of St. Andrews. For 20 years he taught New Testament studies at Cambridge, McGill, and Oxford Universities. Being both one of the world’s leading Bible scholars and a popular author, he has been featured on ABC News, Dateline, The Colbert Report, and Fresh Air. His award-winning books include The Case for the Psalms, How God Became King, Simply Jesus, After You Believe, Surprised by Hope, Simply Christian, Scripture and the Authority of God, The Meaning of Jesus (co-authored with Marcus Borg), as well as being the translator for The Kingdom New Testament. He also wrote the impressive Christian Origins and the Question of God series, including The New Testament and the People of God, Jesus and the Victory of God, The Resurrection of the Son of God and most recently, Paul and the Faithfulness of God.
