Albert Camus’ novel The Plague tells the story of the citizens of Oran, a city that is beset by an outbreak of the plague. How will the plague affect them individually? How will they treat each other? Where will they find hope? Camus, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957, was not a Christian, but we can still learn much from his story, which bears many striking similarities to our situation today. During this four-week class, we will read the novel together and discuss the themes that it raises for our Christian faith. All are welcome! Keep reading for registration information.
