From the 4th to the 9th of August Pontardawe Arts Centre plays host to not one but two fascinating exhibitions about the Bible which will be on display in the Main Theatre. The Bible is a unique and extraordinary book which has played a large part in creating and preserving our language and culture.
The Bible Exhibition charts how the Bible has been preserved through the centuries and translated into modern language. Archaeological exhibits confirm the historical accuracy of it’s claims and displays bring to life some of the incredible prophecies which have come true. The exhibition finishes by describing the vital message of the Bible and its relevance in the modern world. With kid’s activities, a quiz, an audio guide and interactive displays there is plenty to keep all ages absorbed and entertained.
The Welsh Bible Exhibition tells the classic story of Mary Jones and her Bible and shows how critical the Welsh Bible was to the survival of the Welsh language.
Admission is free and you will not be asked for any contributions.
Programme for the week:
Our aim is to encourage people to read the amazing book, the Bible, which is God’s message to us. For those motivated to read and understand the Bible for themselves, we are holding a 6-week seminar series in Pontardawe Leisure Centre, starting in September. The Learn to Read the Bible Effectively seminars aim to give you the tools to discover the Bible message:
- Let the consistent message of the Bible interpret itself
- Find out what happens when we die
- Understand biblical words (eg the title ‘Christ’)
- Discover who wrote the Bible
- See an overview of each book
- Hear about remarkable Bible history and prophecies which have come true
- Use study tools & cross references
- Discuss the differences between Bible versions and how to choose one
- and most importantly, gain guidance for life and a hope for the future
If you don’t have your own Bible, you can pick a free one up in the exhibition.
You can book in advance (email: bible4wales@gmail.com) or just turn up. We would love to see you there and share our love of reading the Bible and of course God and Jesus.
