The Bible: Warfare, slavery, suffering, sex

God’s book doesn’t shy away from contentious topics – and neither should we.

Does the Bible condone warfare and slavery? Isn’t the New Testament’s teaching on sex outdated? Surely there’s not a literal heaven and hell?

It can be tough to make sense of the Bible’s most challenging passages and ideas. How do we approach these tough questions about Scripture, particularly if we’re worried they might chip away at the foundation of our faith? And how can we respond thoughtfully when they come up in everyday life, at work or over coffee with a friend?

Join Andrew Ollerton, author of The Bible Course and the new book God’s Book: An Honest Look at the Bible’s Seven Toughest Topics, for a compelling conversation with Paul Woolley, CEO at LICC. Together, they’ll explore how the Bible’s ancient texts speak to modern hearts – and how wrestling with these big questions can strengthen, not shake our faith.

The evening will conclude with drinks and canapés and the opportunity to purchase Andrew’s latest book at an exclusive discount.
