Book Club

The Crossings Book Club starts new book on May 2nd.

Seminex Remembered (Book Cover) – Edward H. Schroeder

Our next book will be Ed Schroeder’s Seminex Remembered, which originally appeared as a series of Thursday Theology posts from June-August 1998 as Seminex was approaching it’s 25th anniversary. It includes an introduction by Jerry Burce and an afterword by Kurt Hendel. You can order a free copy of the book here. (You can also read the book online.)

At our next meeting on May 2 we will discuss the introduction and first four chapters, and then on May 16 we will discuss the rest of the book.

I hope you can join us in this 50th anniversary year of Seminex to talk about Ed’s take on those momentous events. We might also prevail on some who attended the recent festivities in Chicago for a report on that with an eye to how Seminex is being regarded today by both insiders and outsiders.

If interested contact Chris Repp to register for the Zoom link. Copies of the book are available thru 1517’s website or on Amazon

The Book Club meets bi-weekly on Thursdays for 90 minutes at 12:30 p.m. Central Time on Zoom.

The Crossings Book Study differs from the monthly Crossings Table Talks in that the focus is on one book for an extended period of time rather than one short article per session.We hope to see you in May!
