Canon Hamlin is offering a 4-week course on the Bible. This will not be a traditional Bible study. We will spend four weeks looking at what the Bible is—and is not. We will ask questions about origins, literary styles, what it does and does not contain, issues of translation versus paraphrase, and how to evaluate the perspective of various study Bibles. Bring an open mind and a couple of your favorite Bibles and a Book of Common Prayer. If you have questions, speak to Canon Hamlin.
