As I read Saving Paradise: How Christianity Traded Love of This World for Crucifixion and Empire, I am struck by my own need for handy reference materials, including primary texts and images, and for a setting for conversation and reflection.

These pages are dedicated to the Fall 2008 Monday evening Saving Paradise community of students of First and Epworth LeSourd United Methodist Churches, Tacoma. I hope they'll be made available online in time for them to be useful to the group's conversations.
