A 'THICK DESCRIPTION' OF TWO BIBLE STUDIES BY THE STRAND ANGLICAN GROUP

  • Chuck A Wanamaker Department of Religious Studies University of Cape Town

Abstract

Bible Study 1: Matthew 13:53-58 Profile of the group The group, which met on 7 March, 2001, consisted of five members though they indicated that other members were not present owing to the short notice given for the meeting of the study group that evening. The leader of the group was a female in her sixties, possibly older, in whose house the group met. The notes provided with the transcript indicate that the normal leader of the group was overseas. The rest of the group consisted of two males (one of whom was the leader's husband, I suspect) and two more females (one of whom was the wife of the other man in the group, I suspect). All were probably in their 50s or 60s. The group had a multi-racial composition (coloured and white).
