I don't know, this is something I am trying to figure out. But I have some ideas. So far I have experienced two different kinds of Bible Studies done by Orthodox Christians, but they were mostly based on a protestant modal and ethos. I would like to draw more from the richness of the Church itself and it's traditions for I learned a long time ago in my protestant years that what you use to draw people will be what you need to keep doing in order to keep people. And so, I would like to use what the Church already has and does. That way, if we draw them by what the Church already does, then we will be able to keep them by what the Church already does. There will be no need for a bate and switch.......something common in some protestant circles.

Also, I don't know if I should call it a Bible study, for I want it to be more wholistic. If I believe in Prima Scriptura and not Sola Scriptura then it needs to be more than just a mere Bible Study. It needs to be a Bible Study / Liturgical Study / Church History Study.

More thoughts on this later.....I gotta eat!

Christ is Risen!

I don't have the book, but it was suggested by someone, who said it looks like a good read.

As seen from the Amazon website:
"Product Description
What are we missing when we look at the creation narratives of Genesis only or primarily through the lens of modern discourse about science and religion? Theologian Peter Bouteneff explores how first-millennium Christian understandings of creation can inform current thought in the church and in the public square. He reaches back into the earliest centuries of our era to recover the meanings that early Jewish and Christian writers found in the stories of the six days of creation and of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Readers will find that their forbears in the faith saw in the Genesis narrative not simply an account of origins but also a rich teaching about the righteousness of God, the saving mission of Christ, and the destiny of the human creature.

From the Back Cover
"This wonderfully researched and elegantly written book provides the reader with a compelling and trustworthy portrait of how the fathers of the church read the story of Adam and Eve. As Bouteneff tells that story we see that the tale of the fall is always contextualized within a narrative that celebrates the restoration and redemption of the human race."--Gary Anderson, professor of Old Testament, University of Notre Dame"
