So this is a series for people for adults really who are introduced to the Bible as children.

And this is a series for adults who are introduced to the Bible as adults by adults who are introduced to the Bible as children.

Because either way you go, most of us know some Bible stories but very few of us know the story of the Bible.

That is how we got the Bible to begin with.

And understanding how we got the Bible is almost as important as knowing what's in the Bible because as we're going to see the backstory

sheds enormous light on the story.

Now for children growing up was it important that children knew that we knew when we were kids how the Bible came to be probably not.

We would have been bored stiff and we weren't interested at all so it wasn't a big deal.

But as adults this is an extraordinarily important topic and it's a fabulous, fabulous story.

Because if you don't know, if you don't know the story of the Bible it's easy to discount the stories in the Bible.

In fact some of you have walked away from faith or you have friends or family member or kids who've walked away from faith and it's understandable.

Because if you don't know the story of the Bible it's very difficult to continue to embrace the stories in the Bible.

And the problem is the big problem is we'll talk about this for the next few weeks is that the way that we got our Bibles is not the way the world got the Bible.

By the time you got your Bible it had been chaptered and versed up right?

It had been footnoted, it was in English, all the type was set, there were maps, there were titles, there were headers, there was all kind of it, there were cross references, there was a concordance.

When you got your Bible it was all done.
