“A.M.A.: How was the Bible put together?” by The Reverend Jacquelyn Foxall
Description
In the second installment of our "Ask Me Anything" series, Rev. Jacqui pulls together all the questions you've asked about the Bible: What IS it? Where did it COME from? How was it ASSEMBLED? What about those other gospels we hear about? Who got to decide what was in and what was out? Why is my bible different from a Catholic Bible? Is it infallible? Is it inspired? Is it nonsense? And what’s with all the different translations: King James Version, NRSV, NIV, the Message, the Gen Z Bible?
Turns out - it would take more than a single Sunday (or a whole year of Sundays!) to answer all your great questions. But we got a few answers sorted, and some recommendations for where to go to learn more (Hint: The Bible Project has a whole series of short videos called "How to Read the Bible" - check them out!!! https://bibleproject.com/videos/what-is-bible).
This teaching was preached by the Reverend Jacquelyn Foxall at Knox Presbyterian Church in Oakville, Ontario, Canada on Sunday July 13, 2025 as week 2 of 4 2025 Summer Series “Ask Me Anything”
