INTRODUCTION
The Chapel of the Opened Book, 52a Wilson Street, London, EC2A 2ER is the centre of the Berean Forward
Movement, which exists to encourage deeper study of the Scriptures and whose object is to emulate the Bereans,
mentioned in Acts 17:10,11, who searched the Scriptures daily to see `whether those things were so'.
The Movement has four basic tenets:
1.
The full inspiration of the Scriptures;
2.
The right division of the Scriptures;
3.
The deity of the Lord Jesus Christ;
4.
The all sufficiency of His one Sacrifice for sins.
The Chapel is quite independent and all persons are welcomed, whatever their beliefs, for all those who are
believers in Christ, are united in Him and all build on the one Foundation, `for other foundation can no man lay than
that is laid, which is Jesus Christ' (1 Cor. 3:11).
Bible expositions are held regularly at the Chapel of the Opened Book and also at many centres throughout the
United Kingdom. A vast library of tape recorded addresses are available, for sale or loan, from the Tape Recording
Service of the B.F.M.; whilst the Berean Publishing Trust provides a wide range of literature. All enquiries will be
welcomed and should be addressed to the Chapel.
