We will be examining the history of the Bible and the history of its interpretation. We will embark on a journey through the scriptures and look at the changing views throughout history, the changing contents of the Biblical canon, the myths and dogmas that have arisen over time concerning the Bible and examine what science and scripture have to say to each other. We will also examine what the text itself actually says and examine the heresies that became orthodoxies and the orthodoxies that became heresies as the political landscape shaped the accepted dogmas of today.
