On Tuesday May 6 Simpsonwood and Dunwoody United Methodist Churches invite you to join pastor and best-selling author, Adam Hamilton, for an evening of teaching and conversation around his new book, Making Sense of the Bible. To be held in the Dunwoody sanctuary beginning at 7 p.m.
Adam is the founding pastor of the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, Kansas. The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection has grown from four people in 1990 to more than 16,000 adult members with an average weekly worship attendance of more than 8,600 in 2011. The church was listed as the most influential mainline church in America in a 2005 survey of American pastors.
In Making Sense of the Bible, you are invited into an honest conversation about the Bible. The book begins with foundational questions such as, How and when was the Bible written? Who decided which books made it into the scriptures and why? How literally must we read it? And, Is the Bible ever wrong?
From there, Hamilton considers the real questions people frequently ask that continue to divide Christians and denominations alike. In approachable and inviting language, Hamilton addresses many misunderstood biblical themes leading readers to a deeper appreciation of the Bible so that we might hear God speak through it and find its words to be life-changing and life-giving.
Each ticket includes, a copy of Making Sense of the Bible and a pocket bible.
The evening will end with an opportunity for Q&A followed by a book signing with the author.
