Islamic Circles Presents:
WHO WROTE THE BIBLE?
by Reverend Brian Lewis (Church of England)*
Date: Sunday 11th December 2005
Time: 11.00 am - 1.00 pm
Venue: Froud Centre, 1 Toronto Avenue, off Romford Road, Manor Park,
London, E12 5JF
We have all heard about inaccuracies within the Bible but how many
of us really know anything about it or who wrote it? Apart from a
few R.E. lessons at school, have we actually heard about the Bible
and its teachings from people who believe in it? We hope to cover
the following areas: what is meant by the Bible - New Testament
and/or Old Testament; whether it was revealed or a collection of
events written later; how it was translated; when, how and who
complied the various versions; language of the original Bible;
what is meant by a 'version'; the possibility of amendments in
the future; and the latest understanding in light of discoveries
such as the Dead Sea Scrolls.
If you are interesting in da'wah and inter-faith dialogue, join
us for an informative morning with substance. Please note that
learning the beliefs of the "kuffar" does not mean you will lose
your iman! Rather, it may help you in your da'wah, enable you to
become more open-minded, and help you get rid of misconceptions.
* Reverend Brian Lewis graduated from Canterbury and trained for
the Ministry at St John's College. He has served in the Ministry
of the Anglican Church for the last 25 years and has been a Dean
for several London Boroughs. He is a member of the General Synod
