The Bible is the foundation of Christianity, but did you ever wonder how it came to be? Come, join our class, The History of the Bible and find out.
In this overview class we will talk about:

How we got the 66 books of the Bible, and who decided what to put in and what to leave out?
Who wrote these books that make up the Bible, and when?
How and why the Bible is organized–Old Testament and New Testament?
What are the Apocrypha and why do some denominations include these books in the Bible?
What are the Gnostic Gospels and why are these not part of the Bible?
Why are there so many different English translations of the Bible? What are the differences? Are some better than others?

Spend a Saturday morning for learning, thoughtful conversation, fun and fellowship.

Pentecost Sunday
2026-05-24 10:00 - 11:00 | Hope Lutheran Church – Springtown, 4795 E Hwy 199, Springtown, TX, 76082, United States
Pentecost derives its name from the Jewish festival celebrating the harvest and the giving of the law on Mount Sinai fifty days after Passover. Fifty days after Easter, we celebrate the Holy Spirit as God’s presence within and among us. In Acts the Spirit arrives in rushing wind and flame, bringing God’s presence to all people. Paul reminds us that though we each have different capacities, we are unified in the Spirit that equips us with these gifts. Jesus breathes the Holy Spirit on his disciples, empowering them to forgive sin. We celebrate that we too are given the breath of the Holy Spirit and sent out to proclaim God’s redeeming love to all the world.
