Hey Text and Rockers!
This one is all about how your story became a religious text.
I always tell folks that if your pastor/rabbi/imam/guru
cannot tell you where their holy book came from
in five minutes or less... listen to someone else teach it.
Seriously, if the litmus test for quoting the Bible at someone
was...knowing how we got the Bible.... then I might join Twitter. Ha!
Join us to talk about
- How holy books are fundamentally human literature.
- Why it is a community that makes a piece of literature "sacred".
- An overview of the diverse types of religious texts.
- How copying "fixes" a sacred text...and creates a problem of relevance.
- Why cultural evolution necessitates interpretation and re-interpretation.
- How Mark HATES dropbox.
This one is fun... and in 40 years of church I've never heard anyone tell me how a book like the Bible becomes a book like the Bible. So here you go.

We hope this discussion of what is ancient makes your tomorrow better!
