This is not a Bible Study!
It’s a study group & discussion forum for inquirers.
It is designed to help anyone who wants to become more familiar with the world’s best-selling and most widely distributed book of all time. It’s a book for everyone and for all time!

In Making Sense of the Bible, Adam Hamilton invites us 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 does God seem wrathful or violent in the Old Testament?
Why would Paul command women to “keep silent in the church”?
Is Jesus the only way to salvation?
How does God view homosexual people?
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 to us today.
