Have you ever wondered how Lutheran Christians understand the Bible? If so, then you will

be interested in being part of a new adult study and discussion group led by Pastor Bernie. This

five session study, which will be held each Thursday evening at 6:30 pm beginning on APRIL

30 and continuing to MAY 28, will help you understand how Lutherans view the Bible. Some

of the topics to be discussed will include:

• What should we expect when we read the Bible?

• What is the difference between “inspiration” and “inerrancy”?

• Why was the Bible written?

• Is the Bible “true”?

• How does history and context shape the written words contained in the Bible?

Each class session will be held both in-person in the CLC Youth Room. If you wish to be

involved in this study please contact Pastor Bernie at bernie@htlutheran.com, or

bernardwcarl1@gmail.com.
