share those stories.

from noon to 1:00 p.m. in Second Hall. Par cipants

A suppor ve community of persons who
have experienced the death of a loved one.

Adult Sunday School Class: ” The Hebrew Prophets” May 1 - June 26 in Room 65/66
Leaders: Special Guest Paul Custodio Bube and Henry Goodspeed
Paul Custodio Bube (May; Pre‐canonical*, Amos, Hosea and Micah pp. 1‐57) and Henry Goodspeed (June; 1st Isaiah,
Jeremiah and Ezekiel pp. 58‐136).
Although the Hebrew Prophets do contain messianic messages agreed upon by both Chris ans and Jews, this course is
built upon the primary assump on that the prophets had a message relevant to the moral and religious situa on of their
own day. While it is granted that mes have changed it is denied that the basic issues of life are different today from
those of the days of the prophets. People s ll trust in material strength and delight in wealth and luxury while they
forget God. People s ll heed the speaker who presents the pleasant message and reject tough‐love. The prophets,
properly interpreted, speak to ongoing issues of a world in need of direc on with regard to spiritual, poli cal and social
issues.
Paul Custodio Bube is the W. Lewis McColgan Professor of Religion, Lyon College. He also teaches courses for Lay
Ministry training for the Presbyterian Church. The courses he has taught include Hebrew Bible and New Testament
studies, The Minor Prophets, World Religions, Ethics (including Business and Professional and Chris an Ethics), The Early
Church, Women and the Bible, Advanced Seminar in Religion and Philosophy and Process Thought. Paul holds a PhD
University of Southern California in Theological and Philosophical Ethics.
Henry Goodspeed has taught numerous classes at Second Presbyterian Church since 1979. He has a degree in Biblical
and Patris c Greek from Abilene Chris an University and a Masters of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary.
* “pre‐canonical” are prophets who do not have a book named a er them like Elijah
