I was raised within the United Church of Canada to view the Bible as a historical and literary document. I attended a year of theological studies at McGill University, in Montreal, Quebec. I'm currently agnostic or even atheist, but fascinated by Biblical history.
Students will be required to have a copy of the Bible on hand during class and for homework. Hard-copies are recommended, but online versions do as well. I recommend a NRSV of the Bible but others will do.
We will be discussing theories regarding Jesus' conception and birth, and I am presuming students know the standard modern meaning of the word virgin. In discussion about Paul we may talk about what he wrote regarding male-on-male sexual abuse and how those lines have been misused to condemn homosexuality. I will try to keep all conversation as polite and non-explicit as possible.
