Small Group Study Led by Matt Woodbery
“Making Sense of the Bible” by Adam Hamilton Wednesdays - August 28 – October 23
6:15 p.m. – Becomers Class In “Making Sense of the Bible” by Adam Hamilton we are invited into an honest conversation about the Bible. The
book begins with foundational questions such as: How and when was the Bible written?
Who decided which books made it into the scriptures and why? How literally must we read it? And, Is the Bible ever wrong?
From there, Hamilton considers the real questions people frequently ask that continue to divide Christians and
denominations alike, including: Were Adam and Eve real people?
Why is God so violent in the Old Testament? Why would Paul command women to
“keep silent in the church”? Is the Book of Revelation a guide to the End Times?
In approachable and inviting language, Hamilton addresses these often misunderstood biblical themes leading readers to a deeper appreciation of the Bible so that we might hear
God speak through it and find its words to be life-changing and life-giving.
