$99.95 Downloadable MP3's
In 1984 and 1990, we held Foundations of Faith Conferences which featured some of the top biblical scholars in the world, two of whom are no longer with us, namely Dr. Robert Lindsey and Dr. William Sanford La Sor. The conferences are a series of lectures and include several hours of panel discussions on a wide variety of topics in answer to questions posed by the audience in attendance. This unique and unprecedented gathering of scholars represents the highest level of biblical interpretation and is as relevant today as it was when it was originally presented. We believe you will literally be awed by what you hear.
We are very excited to offer the Foundations of Faith Conference Combo, 4 files in downloadable MP3 and PDF formats, for $99.95. Below is a cursory list of contributing scholars, their backgrounds and the discussion topics on which they speak in the conferences.
Please visit our website at www.biblescholars.org to place your order and we welcome your feedback. After hearing these distinguished speakers let us know what you think.
Best Wishes,
