Do you ever wonder how intelligent and thoughtful Christians come to so many different points of view? How can there be such diversity of opinion among Christians on issues such as sexuality, the place of women in ministry, abortion, political ideology and many more? For Christians, it often comes down to how we read the Bible. A panel of four faculty and staff members will examine their methods and assumptions, process and perspectives on the Bible as a guide to Christian thought and action.
