From Genesis to Irian Jaya
If you have ever wondered what in the world all this "Lamb" business has to do with Jesus dying on the cross, or would like to learn how to better explain redemption and the Old Testament to your friends, than this study is for you.  We will attempt to let God speak for himself, explaining major Bible themes from beginning to end (... well almost the end.) Beginning in Genesis and finishing in Acts we will learn about, discuss and wrestle with topics such as creation, sin, redemption, and forgiveness in a chronological order.  If you have any questions please talk to Mike; or email mike@footpathsnh.com
