- Christianity
This week:
At some point in your life, you likely encountered the Bible. You took a literature class in college and were assigned a few chapters to study. Or you grew up going to church and often heard passages read from its pages. Or a parent or relative gave you a copy of the Bible as a gift. Or you saw a shirtless man at a football game who had emblazoned his chest and belly with "John 3:16." But whatever your encounter, it's likely you had questions. When approaching Scripture, the goal isn't to do away with our questions, but to ask interesting ones. What can we ask of the Bible in order to get something helpful out of it?
Series overview:
Though the Bible is perhaps the most influential religious text in human history, even Christians often know very little of its origins. How did we get the Bible as we know it today? How has it been interpreted over the hundreds of years of its existence? And what questions should we bring to this ancient text if we're interested in the power it may still have to transform us today?
