Why should we study the Bible? Steven McKenzie provides some answers from Rhodes College students. #TalkAboutBiblicalStudies
#TalkAboutHumanities
SBL member Samaria Divine on why we need biblical scholars: "Society is simultaneously misinformed about the Bible and heavily interested in the Bible ... We need biblical scholarship to combat the misinformation that is so prevalent these days."
#TalkAboutHumanities
SBL member Alexiana Fry on why we need biblical scholars: "Biblical scholars offer readers, religious or not, the ability to make informed and critical choices with their interpretations."
#TalkAboutBiblicalStudies #TalkAboutHumanities
We need #TalkAboutBiblicalStudies because a better understanding of the Bible and its complex history means talk about power, empire, colonialism—and that means a better understanding of our own history.
#TalkAboutHumanities
We need #TalkAboutBiblicalStudies because the practice of respectful dialogue across diverse viewpoints is vital in our world.
