Curious Tales
Great Stories from the Great Story

 
The Bible is both an international best-seller and for many, a frustratingly hard book to access. A good starting point is to look at the stories.

"Curious Tales" re-tells Bible stories with relevant history and archaeology. Presented in a relaxed lecture style, the talks are suitable for people of all faiths and none. They focus as much on the historical context of the author as the story itself. There are lots of maps and time-lines. If you like history, this is for you.

The talks take place in public venues. Admission is free and strictly by ticket only. Refreshments are provided.
