Beginning Sunday, March 5, Jim Norton will lead his annual Lenten book discussion at 9 a.m. The discussion will be held between the two Sunday morning services at Grace Church in Vineyard Haven.

This year’s program looks to explore our world today engulfed in disorder, suffering, violence and fear. The selection of materials for the discussion program has also been informed by the recent, unexpected death of Father Brian Murdoch.

The three works that will be explored for Lenten discussion include the Biblical Book of Job, and a modern commentary on Job by Carl Jung in his Answer to Job. An essay will be added that brings the two together with illustrations of the Book of Job by the 19th century English engraver and artist William Blake, in an article titled, “Jung, William Blake, and our answer to Job,” by David Hiles, a Professor at De Montfort University in Leicester, England.

Mr. Norton hopes the discussion lead to a creative six-week exploration for all who would like to join in this year’s Lenten adventure.
