Using Dr. Amy-Jill Levine’s new study, we’ll take a detailed look at Matthew 5-7, collectively known as Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. We’ll explore the main themes of this part of Matthew’s gospel and think about what it means to take Jesus’ teachings so seriously that the Kingdom of Heaven comes on earth now. Approximately 1 hour of weekly reading. Purchase the book from Amazon, and read chapter 1 before the first class.
