\"Where<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The “Where did the Bible Come From?<\/em>” seminar may be a little harder to picture than most, so I want to share a bit of an outline of some of the things we cover. This was originally put together in Spanish as 8 studies, but last time we were in Canada I translated and “Canadianized” it, and condensed it into “part 1” and “part 2”, which could be a Friday evening\/Saturday morning, or a morning\/afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here is a bit of an overview, with some of the things we do and cover in the seminar. If you’re in Alberta or Saskatchewan, and are interested, we can talk<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • Wait – do we have too many books? Or too few? (Canon part 1)<\/li>\n\n\n\n

            As you can see, I mean to make this very practical, to help you in your own study of Scripture, and to help you answer what you see in the media, hear from a friend, or learn in high school\/university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
