Welcome to the Bible
Overview
The Bible can be an intimidating book, yet it has a reputation. Welcome to the Bible encourages Episcopalians nervous about opening the Bible to discover that its texts and doctrines are already in front of them, opening the way for further study. It explores the wealth of wisdom from the Bible embedded in the prayers, liturgies, and creeds of the Episcopal Church, and invites you to begin reading the inspiring book of faith regularly.
