Israel in Exile: A Crisis of
Faith
Thursdays January 8 - February 12
7:00pm
In 587 BC, life as they knew it was over for Israel: Temple
destroyed, Davidic line ended, land taken away. Had God abandoned
Israel? Was God in control? How could they be God’s people? This class
will explore responses to the Exile found in Jeremiah, Ezekiel and other
Old Testament books and will consider parallels with our own
circumstances. Information and registration are available at the
Lutheran School of Theology web site,
