Have you ever wondered why godly people disagree on the interpretation of certain Bible passages? The problem is not that Scripture is intensely difficult to read, but that we, as readers, come to the "interpretation table" with different backgrounds, education, theologies, etc. which influence the way we understand passages and especially how we relate Biblical truths to each other and to our experience. So vital is this issue that the Evangelical Theological Society, a group of evangelical scholars, dedicated their entire 1994 conference to exploring this struggle. It is, after all, a source of great conflict within the church when people, lay and clergy alike, disagree on the meaning and application of the Bible. Undoubtedly, you have faced this very problem and need some insight as to what is going on. Indeed, this may even be a little unnerving for you. We recognize this situation and want to provide you with a tool that will help you sort through these issues in an intelligent and Biblically informed manner. That is the point of this CD.

The Evangelical Theological Society, ACTS, and Galaxie Software, have coordinated to bring you the entire 1994 Evangelical Theological Society conference on CD in Real Audio. Some of the topics include answers to why my African, Asian, or European brothers and sisters read the Bible differently than I do living in North America. What can I learn from them? How does my culture affect my interpretation of the Bible and how does it help me understand why others in my culture read it differently than I do? Every informed Christian recognizes the importance of this topic. How do all these things and much more contribute to how I read Scripture and perceive my place in God's plan? And, how can I promote unity rather than disunity in the body of Christ in spite of differences in certain areas? This is the purpose of this CD and the reason you will want to listen to every one of the speakers. Think of the men of Issachar who knew the culture in which they lived and therefore knew what Israel should do (1 Chron 12:32). May God make you this kind of person as you diligently learn from these teachers.

The good news is that while the complete set of tapes of the conference would cost $1,634, you can now have them all on CD for just $39.95.

Note: You must use the included software to play these audio sessions on a computer. The CD will not play in a car or home stereo CD player.
