If someone's overwhelmed by its length, where do you recommend he or she start?</li></ul>Special Guests: <ul><li>Annie teaches Latin at Providence Academy and holds a masters in biblical and theological studies from Moody Bible Institute.</li><li>Mr. Hendrix holds multiple degrees in theology and boasts a full life of studying, thinking, and teaching about Scripture and theology.
