Encountering God in Scripture

Encountering God in Scripture
We call the Bible “holy" yet often neglect it.
Its humble origins worry us.
Its ancient world view sometimes baffles us.
Its claim on our lives challenges us.

This video series from Luther Productions features 10 teachers of the church from Luther Seminary who help us understand this book as an encounter with the living God. They will lower our anxiety and raise our expectations. Listen as they grapple with questions; then join with these leaders as they lead studies of this amazing story of God’s action in the world.
