Description
A new series of Connect Bible Studies to help concerned Christians wrestle with and form biblically-based views on some of today’s big debates. Designed to be used either by individuals or groups, each study is based on a contemporary issue.
Connect is series of short booklets that encourage people to think biblically about contemporary issues. They don’t attempt to provide all the answers, instead they open up the subject, introduce what the Bible has to say and get you thinking about the issues.
Thinking biblically about The iPod explores various issues related to the cultural phenomenon of the iPod/MP3 player. How is the iPod changing how we listen to music? What do our playlists say about us? Are we underestimating the power of music? Are we turning the divine and communal gift of music into a highly individualised commodity? Why are we so keen to drown out silence and is this preventing us from listening to God?
This Connect study guide is available as a booklet or as a downloadable PDF file and is suitable for both individual reading and group discussion. If you read it alone it will undoubtedly get you thinking and if you use it in a group context it is sure to spark some interesting discussions.
