The Bible is far and away the best-selling book in history. But it also might be the least understood. To many of us, it reads like a collection of strange, hard-to-understand myths about funny-named people like Belshazzar, Abimelech, and Eliezer. For this reason, many people start reading the Bible, get a few chapters in, and then retire it to a life of leisure as a shelf decoration.
But with a little help, we can discover a living book that’s much more beautiful and coherent. Did you realize that the Bible actually has a storyline – that the 66 books written over 1,600 years by at least 40 different authors - tell a unified story – one with a hero and villains and a problem to be solved and conflict and suspense and drama? And it’s not just any story. It’s history. World history. But not a history of everything that’s ever happened in the world, but a history that claims to make sense out of everything in the world, that claims to answer the big, existential questions that we sometimes grasp at but never seem to solve: Why are we here? Is there a purpose for this world? Is there a purpose for our lives? Why are these answers so elusive and where can we find them? This is the stuff of the Bible’s story. If you’ve ever wondered what the Bible is all about, join us. If you’re seeking answers to the Big Questions of life, come and see if, perhaps, the Bible doesn’t make more sense out of our world than any other story being told.
