1. Your name/what you are doing/where you live
Erin Hughes -- High School English Teacher -- Live in Chapel Hill
2. If you had a theme song for your life, what would it be?
David Bowie's Golden Years
3. One thing you believe
love = God and God = love
I really do think it's that simple.
4. One question you have
Who the hell let men have any say whatsoever about what goes in the Bible?
5. One verse/story/book or something else in the Bible that means something to you, and what it means - this could be something that angers you, confuses you, makes you think of Sunday School, reminds you of a song . . . whatever. All thoughts are welcome.
Pretty much anything regarding women in the Old Testament interests/confuses/angers me. Dinah, Esther, Ruth...everybody's some kind of victim and/or docile footnote in the story. And Esther? She has to fight the king and her reward for suriving is to marry the bastard? What is WITH that???? (This is not mentioning that the king's former wife was banished because she refused to humiliate herself...)
6. One area of Scripture/religion/the bible/faith that you would like to learn more about.
Ummm...
7. Any specific expectations you may have for this group or specific suggestions you may have such as a particular book or books you are interested in learning more about, a different format for discussion, or whatever is on your mind.
It would be interesting to read a modern novelization of a Bible story along with the actual scripture, possibly compare author interpretations and scripture.... like The Red Tent and the story of Rachel/Leah/Dinah?
