April Meeting:
“The Secret Origins of the Bible”
At our April meeting, we
will watch “The Secret Origins of the Bible,” a videotaped
lecture by Tim Callahan. He presented this talk, based on his book of the
same name, to the Skeptics Society recently (www.skeptic.com).
The book delves into the
mythological systems of the ancient world and how they relate to the
stories of the Bible. In it, Callahan shows the foolishness of
fundamentalist literalism. He also discusses the ways that the concepts
of god and Jesus have changed in modern times from their original
intention.
Join us on Saturday, April
19, at the home of John Drake, for this intriguing lecture. We will also
have plenty of snacks and a discussion. Call John at (314) 477-8446 for
directions or more information.
