An open book, pages unfurled, rests on a wooden table outdoors. The happy human logo and 'York Humanists, part of Humanists UK' in black text in the upper left of the image.

This July the Book Group will discuss 'The Rise and Fall of Adam and Eve' by Stephen Greenblatt, a non-fiction analysis of this ancient story and how it has shaped the Christian west's attitude to our origins.

The Book Group is open to members and non-members. Whether you have read the book, or are just interested in discussing the topic, you can be sure of a warm welcome. This is an opportunity to meet with like-minded people and enjoy an evening of friendly and stimulating discussion from a humanist perspective.

The event is free to attend.

Looking forward to seeing you there.
