ONGOING Biblical Scholarship Course ~ Open to the Public


Revs Bunny or Sam Sewell

FREE ADULT EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY
ONGOING Biblical Scholarship Course ~ Open to the Public
Hosted by MOORINGS PRESBYTERIAN

The Biblical Scholarship Class presently being taught by Revs Sam & Bunny Sewell and sponsored by the Theological Center in Naples and Moorings Presbyterian Church is finishing their exploration of the book of Genesis on Palm Sunday, March 29th, and will resume their weekly classes by beginning the book of Exodus on the Sunday, April 12th, at 11:15AM.

Biblical Scholarship is not the same thing as Bible Study. This Biblical Scholarship Program aims to provide a curriculum similar to that which is taught at accredited seminaries.

The Sewell’s have been teaching Biblical Scholarship in Naples for over two decades.

This unique adult education opportunity is being offered in the Strozier Library on the campus at Moorings Presbyterian Church, 790 Harbour Dr. This is a great time to learn more about how the Bible was written, and how scholars reconcile apparent inconsistencies. Bring your questions, and strengthen your faith by learning how the Bible’s lessons apply to us today.

There is no tuition for this class, however free will offerings are appreciated. 

Please register by contacting Sam & Bunny. bunnysam@bestselfusa.com 
239-591-4565

~~~~~~~~~~~~

The primary resource for this extensive curriculum is the 12 volume Interpreter’s Bible, but students need only show up with their own Bibles, a note pad, pen or pencil and highlighter. Sam and Bunny own the digital software of the Interpreter’s Bible, as well as the twelve volume set. The Interpreter’s Bible is also available in the Moorings Presbyterian Church Library.  You will also receive additional resources via email and in printed form to enhance your learning experience.


The contributors to the study materials are leading biblical scholars from theologically diverse backgrounds, bringing a wealth of fresh perspectives to biblical interpretation from a wide range of Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish backgrounds.
