Protestant vs. Catholic Bibles: Why the Difference?
As a continuation of our Spring Bible study series on the Reformation, many asked, "why is there a difference in the number of books between the Protestant and Catholic Bibles?" Did Catholics add books to the Bible or did Protestants remove some? Join this short Summer series as we explore the historical controversies over which books to include in the final canon of the Bible and the implications of the varied Bibles seen today.
Registration is required by June 17 to ensure adequate materials can be ordered. Contact Bridget Klawitter at 262-679-1773 or email here to RSVP.
