The Bible: Irrelevant or Irreplaceable?
Let’s be honest talking about the bible can be a complicated, even in the church there are an awful lot of opinions about theology, practice and relevance. And if we take it outside of church, well the usual expectation is something out of touch with a modern age. So how do we talk about the Bible & what it teaches; respond to accusations that it is irrelevant, a fantasy, filled with sexism, racism and homophobia.This week on Life Issues we look at some of the Bibles toughest topics and ask how do we respond to the out of context misunderstandings?
On Life Issues we talk about the topics that affect our personal lives and our world - even the difficult topics, because we believe that our faith and our God have something to say on everything that touches us.New episodes available every Monday.
