How to Read the Bible As It Was Meant to be Read

LTS-anniversary-seal-for-websiteLexington Theological Seminary’s Lay School of Theology offering is “How to Read the Bible As It Was Meant to be Read” by Dr. Jerry Sumney, Professor of Biblical Studies.

The Bible sometimes reads like a foreign text–because it is! Its books were written to people who lived in cultures quite different than ours.

This study will help you understand the various kinds of writing which the Bible contains. You will learn about the narratives of the Hebrew Bible, the Prophets, the New Testament Gospels, the Letters, and–yes–the Book of Revelation!

From the opening chapters of Genesis to Paul’s texts about the role of women in the church, this series will help you rediscover the Bible as a useful guide to your faith.
Please plan to attend all classes, as each lesson builds upon the preceding one.

Oct. 8, 15 and 22, 2016
9 a.m. to noon
(We will view these sessions in Fellowship Hall on the big screen as a group. Donuts, coffee and juice will be provided.)

Join us as we learn and fellowship together!
