“MAKING SENSE OF THE BIBLE” Exploring frequently asked questions that divide Christians.
Join us to consider how we understand the nature of scripture and how we might interpret it, beginning with foundational questions such as: • How and when was the Bible written? • Who decided which books made it into the scriptures and why? • How literally must we read it? Based on the book by Adam Hamilton, each session includes a short video.
