An Overview of the Bible
The Bible was written over a 1000yr period, often drawing on material that is much older. It was written by around 40 different people, using different genres, in several countries across the Middle East and in three different languages- Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek- yet it tells a single story that is Theologically consistent.
If you have you ever wondered how the Bible fits into the wider context of Middle Eastern writings this one is for you. We will examine how the Bible fits into history and its wider context as we understand it, what was happening in the wider world of the time and the major players who affect the nation of Israel throughout Biblical history.
Our study breaks the Bible down into six distinct periods, each taking around an hour:

Poem
Change Of Perspective
Emotions crash like waves, flowing endlessly on,
Those wonderful days, are they truly gone?
Wistfully, you stare at those gloomy clouds above;
The sun peeks through, blinding, as bright as a dove.
Suddenly your soul is nourished, your heart is fed;
You gain motivation to get out of bed.
You pick up a writing pad and write using ink
Enlightening words without having to think.
As natural as breathing, the words roll on;
You begin to notice your uncertainty is gone.
That knot of fear once lodged within your mind
Is starting to unravel, you begin to find.
Take this difficult time to find your true inner peace.
Your isolating days should then pass by with ease.
Your community is with you, but they need you too!
But if we pick each other up, we’ll all pull through…
