What is an interactive Bible study?
These 'interactive' Bible studies are a bit like a guided tour of a famous city. The studies will take you through Mark's Gospel, pointing out things along the way, filling in background details, and suggesting avenues for further exploration. But there is also time for you to do some sight-seeing of your own-to wander off, have a good look for yourself, and form your own conclusions.
In other words, we have designed these studies to fall half-way between a sermon and a set of unadorned Bible study questions. We want to provide stimulation and input and point you in the right direction, while leaving you to do a lot of the exploration and discovery yourself.
We hope that these studies will stimulate lots of "interaction- interaction with the Bible, with the things we've written, with your own current thoughts and attitudes, with other people as you discuss them, and with God as you talk to him about it all
