Summary
When's the last time you heard "the Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God"? Would you feel embarrassed to say that? After all, it's an old book, written by who knows who, and has been used to oppress people and suppress ideas. The Bible has been translated and copied through the ages. During this seminar, we want to consider questions about the Bible, but also understand how it's worthy of our trust.
