The Gospel of John is very distinctive in style and content, differing from those of Matthew, Mark and Luke, and has often been compared to the Gospel of Thomas. Some of the most familiar quotes from the Gospel of John are actually Gnostic teachings. Join us as Revs. Jim and Karen explore some of the similar themes in the Gospels of Thomas and John, how they reflect the Gnostic ideas of their time and have impacted Christian theology.

Paul is the single most significant figure in Christianity and perhaps the most controversial as well.

Niles, Unity Institute faculty, joins the discussion.

A question that inevitably arises in every human life when things go wrong is, “What did I do to deserve this?” Many books have been written to elucidate the teachings from the Book of Job and the many answers that this Bible story gives to this classic question. Listen as Revs. Jim and Karen discuss the story, its many ideas and the ultimate answer to the question, “Why ME, Lord?”

One of the greatest love stories in the Bible begins with the devotion of two women—Ruth and Naomi in the Book of Ruth. Their story of devotion to one another—“your God will be my God and your people will be my people”—leads to finding a love that creates a secure, happy family for both women. Jonah’s call to preach to the people of Ninevah and his reaction to the call is a story of repentance—“changing one's mind”—that is both entertaining and enlightening for the listener. Learn how these two stories describe God’s universal love for all people and how their lessons can influence your own spiritual growth!

King David was the most heroic and idealized of all the characters of the Bible. He was a poet, a warrior, a king and a musician whose playing even soothed the mental illness of King Saul. David was known for his great capacity for love: for God, for his family, for his men, for his country. His indiscretions with his use of love were also renowned along with their disastrous consequences. Learn how his story illustrates all aspects of the use of love and what it teaches us today.
