The current class is a study of the book “Christmas from the Backside” by author J. Ellsworth Kalas which presents new insight into the biblical story of Christmas. Kalas approaches the season through the “back side,” a unique starting point, a creative retelling, a new “lens,” or the eyes of a minor character. Using Kalas’ creative approach the six-week class will look to both clarify basic teachings and introduce new possibilities and perspectives on the familiar aspects of the Christmas story. The class will be held every Monday evening through December 21.
