Existing Centers
University of Virginia Biblical Reasoning Group
Initiated in 2007, this is an on-going community fellowship for Christian Biblical reasoning and study, based at the University of Virginia, meeting off-grounds at the Center for Christian Study. It is coordinated by Jacob Goodson and sponsored by Splintered Light Bookstore. The group meets weekly to discuss history of interpretations, through commentaries and other sources, on Matthew's Gospel. The group also discusses "theory" books on hermeneutics, historical-criticism, and theological exegesis. If you are interested in joining this group or to find out more information about what they do, please send an enquiry to goodson @ virginia.edu.
