Six of the Bible's Most Misunderstood Texts - Session 2

Watch video of the second presentation in the Osher Lifelong Learning Insititute at Vanderbilt series, Six of the Bible’s Most Misunderstood Texts ¬ which took place on October 17. In this course participants will explore six well-known and often misread and therefore misunderstood stories from the Bible: the Creation of the Universe (Genesis 1-2); the Expulsion from Eden (Genesis 3); The Giving of the Ten Commandments; The Patience of Job, Elijah and the Still Small Voice (I Kings 19:11-13); Barabbas and the Trial of Jesus (the Gospels). Drawing on rabbinic midrash, Jewish mysticism, and contemporary scholarship, Rabbi Rami Shapiro leads us into a deeper reading of these classic texts and invites us to discover new meanings in these ancient and timeless stories. This is a course for anyone interested in and courageous to learn about alternative readings of biblical texts.
