Wednesdays at 1:00 pm

Now led by Fr. Jonathan+, please join us every Wednesday for Bible Study in the downstairs classroom beginning at 1:00 pm.

We'll be reading and discussing the book The Bible Tells Me So by Peter Enns.

Trained as an evangelical Bible scholar, Peter Enns loved the Scriptures and shared his devotion, teaching at Westminster Theological Seminary. But the further he studied the Bible, the more he found himself confronted by questions that could neither be answered within the rigid framework of his religious instruction or accepted among the conservative evangelical community. The Bible Tells Me So chronicles Enns’s spiritual odyssey, how he came to see beyond restrictive doctrine and learned to embrace God’s Word as it is actually written.
