The Bible: What It Is, What It Isn’t, and Why Constantine Didn’t Make It
Manage episode 474725602 series 3654706
No, Constantine didn’t choose the books of the Bible. No, the Bible isn’t a culture manual for modern life. And no, you’re not supposed to just read it—you’re supposed to let it read you. In this episode, we get into what the Bible actually is, how it came to be, and how to study it without turning into a fundamentalist meme.
