BIBLE STUDY THE PEOPLE OF GOD: UNITY IN THE MIDST OF DIVERSITY Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Amos 3:3
Main Text : Romans 15: 1 - 4
Theme Verse - Romans 15 : 4 "for whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, so that by steadfastness and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope." Overview: The Christian Bible is a library of complex books. With its 66 books of various genres, it is a fascinating collection of materials. These books were written in ancient cultures fro the purpose of communicating to those people a love relationship between them and their God. How do we as a people in the 21st century--take them, read them, and make sense of them for our times? Scholars have suggested many ways. For this Bible study series we use the four methods proposed by the ELCA Book of Faith initiative: devotions, historical, literary and Lutheran theological methods.
