The JCF Mythological RoundTable® of Ketchum, ID is comprised of people from a wide variety of backgrounds, drawn together by a deep interest in all things mythological. Specific topics may vary each month yet the gathering always includes at least an hour of open round-table discussion. The group is facilitated by Jan Peppler, a doctoral candidate in Mythological Studies and Depth Psychology.  Everyone is welcome!

Topic for May 12: Job and the Mythology of Suffering 
The topic for each discussion will be included in future calendar listing once available.

The Old Testament story of Job is most commonly revered as a parable of faithfulness: how we may suffer, yet if we remain faithful to God, we will be rewarded and receive God’s favor.  Jan Peppler, Ph.D.c will provide new insights into the reading of Job. Group discussion will question how this story permeates our culture and perpetuates a mythology of sacred suffering.
