The Senior Caucus hosts a book club monthly on the third Monday at 11:00a, using Zoom technology. Everyone is invited to join the discussion.
The next meeting is August 18, when we will discuss Reading While Black: African American Biblical Interpretation as an Exercise in Hope by Esau McCaulley.
New Testament scholar McCaulley argues that reading Scripture from the perspective of Black church tradition is invaluable for connecting with a rich faith history and addressing the urgent issues of our times. He demonstrates this model with studies on how Scripture speaks to topics often overlooked by white interpreters: ethnicity, political protest, policing, slavery.

We focus on books of a political, historical, or scientific nature that pertain to understanding our current political climate. The authors are recognized experts in their fields (politics, journalism, history, science). Occasionally we read a book of fiction.
