Living into a New Story

King of Glory Lutheran Church

3430 N Maple Grove Road – Boise Idaho 83704

Forum Room

Saturday August 10, 4–5:30pm

Join the Christian Life Study Group for time with author Ron Rude.

Discussion topics will flow from his recent book Amending the Christian Story: The Natural Sciences as a Window into Grounded Faith and Sustainable Living (Wipf and Stock Publishers, 2021).

At this August 10th Forum, the group will delve into new ways of looking at Christian theology and Christian living, exploring questions such as:

  • Why are Judaism and Christianity such recent, infant religions? What is God up to?

  • What might a non-anthropocentric version of Christian faith look like?

  • How can the Natural Sciences help Christians better understand God’s story of life and even God’s story of Jesus?

  • What do we do with troubling (especially violent) biblical stories?

After 17 years as Lutheran campus pastor (ELCA) at the University of Arizona-Tucson, Ron recently retired to writing, teaching, and service. ronrude2@gmail.com.

In addition, Ron will be sharing fresh preparations for an upcoming educational Retreat he is co-leading at Spirit in the Desert Retreat Center in Carefree, Arizona (January 23–26, 2025).
