Bishop Peter writes: 'The Bible is not only one of the most familiar of books but also one of the most enigmatic. It is the world's best seller and has shaped history. It was written over thousands of years by many different authors, and yet speaks to us personally today. All we know of Jesus comes from the Bible.
Come and explore the world of the Bible this Lent!'

Peter Ramsden (BSc., MA) has been a priest in Newcastle Diocese and subsequently, for ten years, priest in Aipo Diocese in the Western Highlands of Papua New Guinea. From 2007 until 2014 he was Bishop of Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
