Journey Through the Bible
The Bible is made up of several different books, letters, and other material. This material was written over several centuries. But there is a storyline that ties this material together. Often, we encounter the Bible in bits and pieces. We may hear a few verses from one book in worship, study a different book in Sunday School, and learn about another part of the Bible somewhere else. In this study, we will look at the story that holds all this material together as the Bible.
