Book Study with Rev. Jolie (Hybrid – Library/Virtual Library)

Book Study! A History of Religion in 5 ½ Objects by S. Brent Plate (Beacon Press, 2014).
3 Sessions, alternating Thursdays. March 7, March 21, and April 4. Hybrid. 7 – 8:30 PM.
Rev. Jolie will lead this adult discussion group beginning in March on religions of our world based on a close reading of the above book. From the book jacket copy: “Arguing that religion must be understood in the first instance as deriving from rudimentary human experiences and from lived, embodied practices, Religious Studies professor S. Brent Plate asks us to put aside, for the moment, questions of belief and abstract ideas.” Instead we are invited to focus on five ordinary types of objects – stones, incense, drums, crosses, and bread – with which we connect in our pursuit of religious meaning and fulfillment. We will reflect on how the religious experiences described in the book relate to our own lives, and to our experience as Unitarian Universalists.
