Jesus' life and ministry are recorded in the Bible from four perspectives, known as the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The Gospels, written by Jesus' closest friends and followers not long after his resurrection, testify to the identity of Jesus of Nazareth as the son of God. His life story is filled with miraculous moments, profound teaching, an astounding offer of forgiveness of sin, and a life altering relationship with his Father, the God of the Universe. Through this study grounded in the Gospels, we will join Jesus and his disciples following in his footsteps, listening to his teaching, and observing his signs and miracles. This study will draw us closer to Jesus as we study events, parables, and stories from his life that will help us to answer for ourselves the question Jesus once posed to Peter, "Who do you say I am?" This study is designed for those new to scripture study and those seeking to strengthen their understanding of the period of Jesus' ministry. We will grapple with and come to terms with who Jesus claims to be -- the son of God. We will focus on building a personal relationship with our Savior as we ponder another question Jesus asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" We will explore what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus, and how that relationship can help us to always have an answer for our faith that is based on personal experience.

Elizabeth Knapp's poetry explores the intersections between modern society, personal mortality, and cultural immortality. In this, her second collection, celebrities come and go, while the collection's patron saint, Emily Dickinson, presides over all. At its heart, this book is about loss and its endless reverberations, while at the same time, it embraces the notion of art as a kind of immortality. With these striking new poems, Knapp establishes herself as one of our most vital and compelling contemporary voices.

"The Spite House is a book of dark vision and broad range, haunted by intimacy and anger, by a fierce fidelity to truth and to the elusiveness of truth, by emotional, spiritual, cultural, and political landscapes that are finally inseparable aspects of a single extended investigation." -Jane Hirshfield
