For the last two thousand years, the Bible has served as the greatest spiritual resource in the Christian tradition. Yet, at the same time, conflicting readings of the Bible have divided Christians and Jews, Protestants and Catholics, and Fundamentalists and Liberals. How should we approach this book of such spiritual power and such difficult controversy? This course explores the most important ways that people have read the Bible over the last two millennia.
