Some questions to ponder as we begin...

What do Lutherans mean when they assert, "The Bible is true"?

Martin Luther talks about the Word of God being (1) Jesus Christ, (2) the spoken tradition, and (3) the written Scripture. What does that mean for us?

Does the Old Testament (the Hebrew Scriptures) teach us anything about Jesus? 

What do Lutherans mean when they say, "Scripture interprets Scripture"
