Outline for a study of the Bible – how we got what we have.

Join Rev. Wendy Olson for a proposed four-week study. Wednesdays at 10 am.
This is not exactly a bible study. Its more a study of the Bible. Each week we will explore one aspect of the book we hold and call, The Bible. Through history, language, archeology and Holy Spirit we will learn more about the story of the Bible. Each week we will also look at Bible passages that help us learn more about how the people of God, through the ages, have used and not used its words.
