The God of Life by Gustavo Gutierrez Book Discussion

Join a multi-week discussion of Gustavo Gutierrez' the God of Life this Spring. Each session will offer a free meal, conversation and reflection on the text.

Here is the description of the book: Who and where is God? How are we to speak of God? In his most accessible work to date, Peruvian theologian Gustavo Gutierrez looks at these classic questions by reviewing the entire Bible from the standpoint of the struggling poor: those who hunger both for God and for bread. His answers challenge all Christians to a deepening of faith and a commitment to action.

Gutierrez identifies God as the God of life, as the One who confronts the idols of death – greed and corruption, oppression and violence – and liberates us to enter the fullness of life. The God of the Bible is the defender of the poor who enters into the relationship of loving commitment with all people. Where do we find this God? In our practice, in the project of Jesus, in the life of faithful solidarity and witness to life.

First session starts February 24th at 7 PM
