Rev. Dr. Jaime Clark-Soles is holding a special lecture and Q&A session at Broadmoor United Methodist in Baton Rouge, La. on Saturday, October 2 at 9:00 a.m. on her book 1 Corinthians: Searching the Depths of God.

1 Corinthians is one of the most exciting books in the Bible. In this letter to the people in Corinth, Paul, the complicated apostle, writes to the people trying a wild new social experiment known as a Christian community. Not unlike the church today, this community dealt with factions, sexual immorality, gender issues, money issues, theological questions, lawsuits, problems in worship, and problems in leadership.

During the lecture on October 2, Rev. Clark-Soles will explore these topics and the awe inspiring world of the first-century church. Guests will learn to look at 1 Corinthians from a variety of viewpoints and apply its lessons to their own faith.

Rev. Clark-Soles is an ordained Baptist minister who speaks frequently at churches and has written several books. She is Professor of New Testament and Altshuler Distinguished Teaching Professor at Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University. She is also the Director of the Baptist House of Studies at Perkins. You can learn more about her at http://jaimeclarksoles.com/about-me/.

Check-in and continental breakfast begins at 8:30 a.m. The lecture will start at 9:00 a.m. Registration is required to attend and masks are mandatory indoors.
