This past week, I started the Bible Survey Class I mentioned earlier today. It’s a six-week class going through a theology and history of the Bible and its contents, with an emphasis on these facts helping to build up the spiritual life of Christians. It also goes into a lot of the historical development and issues behind the Bible, so it could also be of interest to non-Christians. You can follow the class on the class page above.
This Lecture Covers:
- What is the Bible?
- What is Revelation?
- The History of Israel
- The History of the Old Testament
- Genesis: Contents, Background, and relevance to Christians
I love how you assert right off the bat that the Bible is contradictory, lol (not that I necessarily disagree, but that’s a big statement to make in your intro)

Yeah, you’re right. The fact that’s a big statement in the first place (and it is; and it was intentional) says more about how modern evangelicalism has twisted the Bible, more than it says something about the Bible itself.
