You’re Invited to an Open Online Lenten Class with Diana Butler Bass & Tripp Fuller
Hello Friends,

I am excited to connect and thrilled to share an invitation to an upcoming online reading group ([link removed]) with Diana Butler Bass wrestling with the living legacy of Jesus.

What does it mean to take up the Lenten journey when Jesus may come with more baggage than blessings and occasions bigger questions than confidence? De/Constructing Jesus ([link removed]) is a pop-up learning community where we get honest about all the baggage and questions Jesus brings and explore what Lent looks like when they aren't silenced or erased.

To learn more about the class and join more than 1,200 others in the group, head to JesusDeconstructed.com ([link removed]) The class is donation-based, including zero, so all the interested can participate. Plus you don't have to join live to get the video or audio of each session. There’s even options for church/small groups and those looking for continuing education credit.

** Jesus De/Constructed

** What do we do with Jesus today?
This is a simple question with tons of baggage.
------------------------------------------------------------

Drawing on both of their "Jesus books," Diana and Tripp are looking to facilitate an extended conversationabout the surprising and lingering significance of Jesus.

** Diana Butler Bass
------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Bass is an award-winning author, popular speaker, inspiring preacher, and one of America’s most trusted commentators on religion and contemporary spirituality. She is the author of ten books, including her most recent, Freeing Jesus: Rediscovering Jesus as Friend, Teacher, Savior, Lord, Way, and Presence ([link removed]) . Diana’s passion is sharing great ideas to change lives and the world – a passion that ranges from informing the public about spiritual trends, challenging conventional narratives about religious practice, entering the fray of social media with spiritual wisdom and smart theology, and writing books to help readers see themselves, their place in history, and God differently. You can connect with her on Twitter or ([link removed]) by subscribing to her popular newsletter, The Cottage ([link removed]) . ([link removed])


** Tripp Fuller
------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Fuller is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Theology & Science at the University of Edinburgh. He recently released
Divine Self-Investment: a Constructive Open and Relational Christology ([link removed]) , the first book in the Studies in Open and Relational Theology series. For over 13 years Tripp has been doing the Homebrewed Christianity ([link removed]) podcast ([link removed]) (think on-demand internet radio) where he interviews different scholars about their work so you can get nerdy in traffic, on the treadmill, or doing the dishes. Last year it had over 4 million downloads. It also inspired a book series with Fortress Press called the Homebrewed Christianity Guides ([link removed]) to... topics like God, Jesus, Spirit, Church History, etc. Tripp is a very committed and (some of his friends think overly) engaged Lakers fan and takes Star Wars and Lord of the Rings very seriously.
