That is how we began Bible Study this week. I don't think any of us scored 100%.
Our Bible study for the next few weeks will be more "about" the Bible, than the Bible itself. As Christians we claim scripture is God-breathed, that it is authoritative, that it is the Word of God, that God is revealed in its pages. But how do we know that? Did God dictate the ancient texts to Jewish scribes? Did some scholar one day find the complete manuscript in a library? Just where did our present-day Bible come from? Who decided what books to include and what to omit? Why?
These and other questions will be discussed and answered in the next six sessions of Bible Study.
So, how did you do on the quiz? Want to know the answers? Come to Bible Study, Wednesdays at 9:30 am or 7:00 pm. You don't have to reveal your score.
