We invite you to take part in the Huntersfield retreats that are held several times each year. We offer special training in biblical studies with qualified instructors from Bible colleges and seminaries who provide insight into various books of the Bible, as well as contemporary topics facing Christians today.
The instructors teach from a historical-grammatical perspective whereby the student will learn the meaning of the original text. One can, through participation and application, become more fully-equipped to be an effective layperson, church leader and Christian witness.

Summer Bible Study ~ August 13-15, 2010
HOW DID THEY WRITE THE BIBLE?
Instructor: Dr. Bryan Widbin
Course Description: In the ancient world, very few people could read or write. It just wasn't practical for most people to take all of that time to learn something so technical. This fact raises interesting questions for those of us who love the Bible. How and why did the Bible come to be written? What were the practical reasons and demands for the inspiration of God to come upon ancient writers?
The idea of our weekend is to explore the reasons behind the inscripturation of God's Word. We will look at four major spiritual, emotional, political and economic crises in the lives of God's people that called forth the books of the Bible. You will leave with a very practical way of reading and understanding each of the books in the Old and New Testaments. Then, as the challenges of God's ancient people match up with those of our personal lives, we gain inspired insight from God for living in this complicated world of today.
