Saturday Bible Study: John for Normal People
When: 9:30 AM, 1st and 3rd Saturdays
Where: Church building
Leaders: Elecia Almekinder and Ben Martin
Join us as we dive into John for Normal People by Jennifer Garcia Bashaw, a fresh and creative look at the Gospel of John that blends narrative storytelling, historical insight, and thoughtful interpretation. Bashaw, a friend of Artisan and passionate Bible teacher with years of experience, invites us to see John’s Gospel as a complex, beautiful, and sometimes challenging drama meant to be felt as much as understood.
Instead of a typical commentary, this book is written like a stage play with scene-setting and “stage directions” that draw us into the world of Jesus’ ministry. We will explore the text itself through narrative criticism while also considering its cultural and historical backdrop, embracing both its depth and its unique character.
Whether you have been reading the Bible for years or are simply curious, this is an opportunity to wrestle with Scripture, encounter new perspectives, and engage both heart and mind.
