Sir Oliver Mowat served as a Christian lawyer, politician, premier of Ontario, and was one of the Fathers of Canadian Confederation.

Near the end of his life, he published two works on Christianity and its evidences and Christianity and its influence as his contributions to the development of a holistic Christian apologetic.

The Bible is the inspired word of God, but is the Bible we read today the same Bible our ancestors read?

Son! Done! Come! These three single words present the key to the great mystery of the book of Revelation. This is the story of Jesus. He was born as a son. He died, and it was done. He lives again and has come to create a living community in himself and the Father through the Spirit. Experiencing Revelation presents a new perspective on this book of the Bible. Rather than analyze countless details separately, the apostle John’s Revelation is best understood as it was designed–a three-act dramatic play revealing Jesus Christ, to be experienced straight through as a whole.

Long-time Bible teacher Kristie Anyabwile discovered as she prepared her lessons that a single inductive approach doesn’t do justice to the variety of genres that make up the Word of God. Because Scripture is a collection of writings that spans 1,500 years, many literary styles are represented, and each must be taken into account for the fullest understanding of God’s Word. Kristie shows you the immense value of studying the Bible literarily—that is, according to the literary style presented in a particular book, chapter, or passage.
