Uncovered: The Bible as Historical Document
You've probably heard of the Bible, maybe even own one or read one. Its typically thought of as a religious book, but at its core it is a collection of ancient primary manuscripts. In this podcast, we will examine the Bible from the perspective of a Historian, to examine its historicity and manuscript strength, to see if we can uncover why the founders of the United States thought this book held value for the construction of our civic system. This podcast is a follow-up series to "Unmoored: America Adrift in Historical Forgetfulness and Finding Our Way Back." That podcast was an examination of what has happened to the USA in the early 21st century. In that examination, it became clear that the US civic system, as originally designed, was based on a moral virtue foundation held in common. For the citizens at that time, the location for that foundation was the Bible. That makes sense when we realize the country was peopled mostly with Christians. The USA is not peopled mostly with Christians today in the early 21st century, so is the Christian faith even worth examining? Perhaps not, at least not at the civic level, but before we decide to jettison or reject what the Founders believed to be necessary, we should examine it. So, we will seek to uncover what is going on in the Bible and whether we can trust it as a historical document. Is what we read accurate as a historian considers primary source documents? Is it possible that the story it tells of a Savior God coming to rescue the humans remotely accurate?
