WORD up

It’s the best selling document of all time. It’s the most widely circulated, widely translated book ever. In our western culture, it’s almost ubiquitous…over 90% of Americans say they own at least one. They’re even stocked safely away in most hotel rooms. Yet for all of that, the Bible is one of the least read, most divisive and misunderstood pieces of literature in existence.

Here are some of the questions:

Who really wrote the Bible?
What makes the Bible unique from other religious books or from other works of ancient literature?
Weren’t there books left out of the Bible?
Aren’t there supposed to be contradictions in the Bible?
Can I really understand and find meaning from something that old?

Join us this August for our series WORD, as THF uncovers the mystery, answers the questions, and opens the book on THE BOOK. You’ll be forever changed.
