The 'Bible and Church' series, from Tyndale House, Cambridge, aims to present world-class scholarship directly to the church, providing the church with evidence in support of the historical basis of the faith, and renewing confidence in the Bible.

With new books being published every year, throwing a smokescreen of doubt and innuendo over the integrity of Christianity, the "Bible and Church" series of events across Wales offers evidence for the reliability of the Old and New Testaments, and particularly the Gospels as a rational source of knowledge about Jesus.

We are being bombarded with false information about the Bible.  It is alleged that it has been corrupted by power-hungry Christians.  They are charged with having omitted books they did not like, and changing the original message of Jesus. 

So, can we believe the Bible?  Join the event and deepen in your knowledge and confidence in the inspired Word of God.

At this session, Dr Peter J Williams from Tyndale House will address the Moral Objections to the Old Testament.

This is a free Highfields Network event in partnership with CICC and will include lunch. 

Register for the session by emailing Rev. Phil Jenkins
