WHAT LUTHERANS THINK ABOUT THE BIBLE

Page 13: How to study the bible week 2: What is the Bible?

Scripture is...“The major significance of the Bible is not that it is a book, but rather that it reflects the life of the community of Israel and the primitive church as those communities sought to come to terms with the central reality that God was present with them in ways that regularly outran their ability to understand or cope.” -- Paul Achtmeier quoted in Revisioning Evangelical Theology by Grenz p. 122

Think Right! Content, but Thankful.

Because of my chains, Christ is preached.

Make me proud by being

like Christ.

What those false teachers have is nothing

compared to knowing Christ.

You should stand firm and

think like Christ.

sure is nice to be

remembered by you.
