From the Amazon Web Site:

Back before Stonehenge or the wheel, back before the pyramids, math, or even the crudest writing existed, ancient peoples gathered and told stories.  They told stories of how the world began, what the first people were like, and which of them were heroes or failures.  They tried to make sense of the world around them and tried to sort out who the gods were and what those gods wanted from them.

More than ten thousand years later, one set of those stories has come down to us in the form of the Old Testament.  It is the story of the Jewish people and their distinctive God, giving us a glimpse through story, song, history, and law of the rocky, raucous, faithful, fumbling beginnings of one of the oldest religions on earth.

Perhaps you think you know it.  Think again.

This second course in Exploring the Bible: The Dickinson Series (by Rev. Anne Robertson) will help you better understand the Old Testament in the context of the world in which it was written.  Use it as designed in small-group study or work with it on your own.  Either way, you will come to a new appreciation for this amazing collection of ancient texts and the faith that they represent.

A reminder that fellowship time starts at 6:30 P.M. with the study lasting from 7:00–8:00 P.M.
