About the event
Dive into the fascinating history of the Bible with this five-week adult education course, inspired by Lawrence H. Schiffman’s The World’s Greatest Book. Together, we’ll uncover how the Bible was written, preserved, and compiled into the sacred text we cherish today. From the delicate art of ancient manuscript creation to the debates surrounding canon formation, this course reveals the remarkable journey of God’s Word through history.
Explore the lives of the scribes, the impact of archaeology, and the pivotal role of early Christian and Jewish communities. Each week, we’ll tackle key topics, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, early translations, and how the Bible continues to shape faith and culture today. Whether you’re a lifelong believer or just curious about the origins of Scripture, this class will deepen your understanding of the Bible as both a historical artifact and a living testament to God’s enduring message.
