“How Does Reading the Bible Help My Faith?” is a seven session study that explores key questions about the many different ways that people of faith interpret the Bible in order to grow in their faith. It is designed to meet the needs of people who have questions about the Christian faith and who desire a deeper engagement with scripture and with discipleship as they explore studies of issues in theology, ethics, missions, Bible interpretation, and church history. It seeks to equip a new generation of church leaders to appreciate the eternal message of the gospel and to develop the skills to articulate its relevance in our contemporary context.
