Have you ever wanted to visit the land of the Bible?
Check out all the details on the ISRAEL TRIP INFORMATION PAGE.
I’m Greg Hall and you’ve landed at the “Rethinking Scripture” website where we like to rethink what we thought we already knew about the Bible.
The Rethinking Scripture books, podcast, projects, and studies are all designed to introduce you to new insights in biblical theology.
The Launch Party for my first book, Rethinking Rest, was a huge success!
I signed books, read excerpts, and told stories about how it all came together.
Rethinking Rest is available
on Amazon
or wherever you buy your books!
