We receive the Scriptures from generations before us and read them alongside Christians throughout the world. Bibles can carry their own histories too, through inscriptions, names, notes and memories which connect the words of Scripture with the lives of those who have read and treasured them. Historic Bibles from the St Olave\u2019s archive will be displayed and we invite you to bring a Bible you use, treasure or find inspiration in as we celebrate the Scriptures and their witness to Christ at the heart of Christian faith.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christians believe that through the many voices and stories of the Bible we can hear God speaking to us today.
