KAIROS THEOLOGICAL FORUM
TITLE: Genesis 1-11 and its Relevance Today
INTRODUCTION
The Bible is, through and through, a historical revelation. It is the account of God’s activity in history. As such, it must have a beginning. The book of Genesis gives us our historical point of reference, from which all subsequent revelation proceeds.It is striking that the book of Genesis (and the Pentateuch) contains the broad outlines of virtually every major area of theology and ethics that includes the doctrine of God and creation, the nature of man and his vocation and foundations for social-political life.
Genesis also sheds light on contemporary events. This can include the conflict the Middle East to the culture war and conflict of civilizations, family life and human sexuality.

Thanks.
Thanks for your interest, friend.
It's open to all, though we are especially targetting the 20-35 age group but no discrimination in age.
No paper is required though there may be hefty reading materials as homework.
The best part is it's free of charge, only perhaps some small fees to cover the photocopies of materials used in the discussion.
Basically we try to encourage believers to read and reflect biblically, also as leadership development for a group of 20 somethings that we're in contact with. Do pass the news around to people who may be keen
