How the Bible Actually Works
How the Bible Actually Works
Do you have the wrong expectations for what the Bible should be?
As questions arise, as doubts persist, what do we do with the Bible now?
I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but the Bible is weird. It’s an ancient, ambiguous, and diverse book and there’s no one right way to read it. Join Pete as he explains how the Bible can lead us to wisdom rather than answers, and why that is good news. Whether you are frustratedly Christian, barely Christian, or formerly Christian – this course is intended for you.
