Adult Bible Class begins Sunday, September 13

The Canon of Scripture: Why These Books?  

          We confess 66 canonical books to be the Holy Scriptures.  “Canon” refers to a stick or a standard (like a “cane”).  So, the 66 books are the standard.  They are God’s word.  But why these books?  Why not others?  And what about the Apocrypha—why not them?  Let’s consider how God gave us the Scriptures and why we regard only the 66 books in our Bible as the word of God.

Sept 13                  Why THIS book?

Sept 20                 How has God revealed his word?

Sept 27                 What is divine inspiration?

Oct 4                     The Old Testament: Why these books?

Oct 11                    The New Testament: Why these books?

Oct 18                   What about other books?  Why not them?

Oct 25                   God’s word through human hands: Is there a problem?


Bible Class will meet in the church basement,
beginning about 10:15 AM. All are welcome.
