Adult education at DPC takes place on Sunday mornings between worship services from 9:45 to 10:30. Some of our classes meet every Sunday, and others are held for just a few weeks. You are welcome to join any class any week, no long-term commitment required. If you have any questions, please contact Bryant Anderson.
Our Sunday morning Adult Education program has ceased for the summer, but we will be back on September 19 with a full slate of classes for all interests.
The world in which Jesus and his earliest followers lived was a decidedly Jewish one. Since the mid-twentieth century and the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, our picture of that world has changed dramatically. Yet, that changed picture—and its impact on the way that we view Jesus of Nazareth—has not filtered down from scholarly work into the churches. What impact did the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, have on our understanding of earliest Christianity? What are the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, and what roles have they played in understanding who Jesus was and what he preached?
