St. John's Reading Club
Current Selection
Colm Tóibín "The Testament of Mary" to gather for a Group Discussion in the Parish Library after 10:00 Coffee Hour, Sunday, June 1st so start reading now!
"This short novel is written from the point of view of Mary, mother of Jesus, reflecting in her old age on her son's life and the claims he was a messiah.
In the ancient town of Ephesus, Mary lives alone, years after her son's crucifixion. She has no interest in collaborating with the authors of the Gospel, who are her keepers. She does not agree that her son is the Son of God; nor that his death was "worth it"; nor that the "group of misfits he gathered around him, men who could not look a woman in the eye," were holy disciples.
The St. John's Reading Club is open to the public and meets regularly to discuss a novel previously selected. It is assumed that all participants will have already read the book by the time of the meeting, at which all will be welcome to discuss their reactions to the work with all the others gathered.
