Presenter: Richard J. Clifford, S.J.
For Christians, the Bible is not only the New Testament, but the Old Testament as well. But how do you find your way in such a big book? This presentation will examine the Christian Bible and follow its steady forward movement from Genesis to Jesus in the Gospels, while illustrating how a system of cross-references keeps readers on track.
