Treasure Hidden in a Field

Four Talks on Four Bible Stories

The stories of the Bible often strike us as mysterious, disturbing and dream-like. The Bible has been approached in various ways, scientifically, historically, moralistically. What is often not understood is how the stories in the Bible are meant to lead us to transformation, both psychological and spiritual. To understand this we need to read the Bible on multiple-levels, as we would any great work of literature, reading symbolically and intuitively, and working to understand how these stories lead us to deeper wells of life and meaning. This is a series of four talks looking at four Biblical stories as texts full of many meanings, texts which can have a transformative impact on our lives. There will be a particular emphasis on how these texts talk to our inner life.

There will be a Q and A after each Talk
