COMMON GROUND: Judaism: Ancient Voices, with Ron Miller
Location: 77 W. Washington St., 2nd Floor, James Parlor

Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel are the prophetic giants of the Hebrew Bible. They battled with idolatry, economic injustice, threats from foreign powers, and other crises of their time. What effect did their voices have on their contemporaries? What relevance do they have for the issues with which we struggle today, both as individuals and as societies?

COMMON GROUND: Does Suffering Disprove God? with Ron Miller
Location: 77 W. Washington, 2nd Floor, James Parlor
Time: 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Bart Ehrmann evolved from a Moody Bible fundamentalist to a liberal biblical scholar. And now, in his latest book, he reveals that he has become an agnostic. He finds himself unable to reconcile the idea of a God who is all-knowing and all-powerful with the suffering in our world. Although he does not embrace atheism, he identifies with the author of Ecclesiastes, enjoying the life we are given but uncertain about any statements attempting to locate that life in a larger context. Is there a viable response to his position within the context of religious faith?
