I was raised within the United Church of Canada to view the Bible as a historical and literary document. I attended theological studies at McGill University, in Montreal, Quebec. I'm currently agnostic or even atheist, but fascinated by Biblical history. I have published a book on the topic, titled A Secular Bible Study.

This is a flexible schedule class so we will not be meeting live. Students will be asked to do a weekly reading assignment and to watch the short videos. Then they will be invited to engage the material in a variety of ways including (but not limited to):

- Participating in discussion in the Outschool classroom.
- Doing a virtual scavenger hunt finding classical paintings on Biblical themes.
- Writing riddles for one another and guessing each other's riddles.
- Doing dramatic readings and retellings of stories.
授業以外に週あたり 2 - 4 時間の学習が期待されます
