Oakton Community College Hosts Coffeehouse Series
Emeritus Lectures Focus on Finding Religious Roots

Discover connections between the religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam to ancient Egyptian theology at Oakton Community College's new coffee house series. The "What's Brewing?" series will be held on six consecutive Fridays in the library of the Ray Hartstein Campus, 7701 N. Lincoln Ave, Skokie.

The six-week program, The Ancient Egyptian Foundations of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (PHL E49-71) meets 10 a.m. - 12 p.m., starting Feb. 20. Course fee is $90.

The coffeehouse series, sponsored by Oakton's Emeritus Program, also explores Western spirituality and analyzes ancient texts including the Book of Genesis, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Gospel of John, and the Pyramid Texts. Keeping with the coffee house tradition, discussions will be served with java and a sweet treat.
