A COVID-19 inspired opportunity: History of the Bible seminar through ABCOPAD - online and free

April 7th, 14th, and 21st
7:00-9:00 PM

I've taught my seminar on the History of the Bible several times in person, at my own church and at 4 other area churches, but now (in part because of the need to offer ways to connect remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic) there will be an opportunity for many others to virtually attend this seminar online via ABCOPAD and Zoom. 

Here is a description of the seminar:
The history of the copying, preservation, and translation of the Bible will be given in a three-part seminar taught by Pastor Randy Powell of First Baptist of Franklin. This seminar will include helpful visual aids that will assist in the telling of the amazing history of God’s Word, beginning with the original manuscripts in Hebrew and Greek, and ending with the modern English translations that we read today. When we understand the history of how an accurate rendering of the original words of the authors of the Bible have been preserved for two millennia, our faith in its trustworthiness will only increase. The seminar will include an opportunity for Q&A, is free and open to the public with no reservation required; it will be a benefit both to novices and to those who only need a refresher, including pastors.

To take advantage of this opportunity, follow the link below to ABCOPAD's website (American Baptist Churches of Pennsylvania and Delaware) which contains the link to Zoom {It is very easy to join a zoom meeting, even tech novices can handle it, here is the link to the Zoom help center to answer any questions}.  If you have any questions, please call me at the church office prior to the first class (814-432-8061).

As an alternative, if the day/time of the seminar doesn't work for your schedule, or you'd simply like to take the material at your own pace, I do have a high quality recording (thank you 1st Baptist of Linesville) of this same material made a few years ago that you can watch via Youtube.
