_________________________________________________________________________________________________________QUESTION OF THE MONTH . . . I was raised in the Lutheran church, believing that the Bible stories we learned were literally true. Since our transfer to Louisiana, I had been attending a Methodist church because there is no Lutheran church in this area. A lay leader has been telling us that the story of Jonah is a fictional story, not true. What does the Lutheran church teach with respect to this and other stories in the Old Testament? * * After pressing the answer link below, look under "LCMS Views", then "The Bible" . . . .
