Thank you for registering for Difficult Texts, Faithful Reading: Wrestling with Scripture Without Losing Your Faith. I’m looking forward to spending the morning exploring some of the Bible’s most challenging passages together.

Below you will find a brief pre-reading packet that introduces a few of the ideas we’ll be discussing. The reading is entirely optional, and no preparation is required to participate in the workshop. Whether you’ve had time to read it carefully, skim it, or not look at it at all, you’ll be able to fully engage in the conversation.

Our goal is not to arrive at simple answers, but to practice thoughtful, faithful ways of reading difficult texts—approaching Scripture with curiosity, honesty, and care.

If you know someone who might enjoy this conversation, feel free to invite them. Registration remains open, and guests are welcome.

I look forward to being with you soon!

Grace and peace,

Dr. Erica Mongé-Greer

Biblical Scholar & Author
