Study Guide

Wrestle with the Bible

From Genesis to Revelation and the dozens of books in between, the Bible tells the story of God’s relationship to humanity as revealed to Christians in the New Testament and to our forebears, the Jewish people, in the Hebrew Bible (or Old Testament). Though it is the inspired word of God, the Bible nonetheless contains a number of stories and teachings that are hard for us to understand. They challenge us prayerfully and thoughtfully to ponder them so that we might discern what we can learn about ourselves, our God and our walk as disciples.
