The Invention of the Bible
April 17 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Hamilton at The Other Side
with Professor of Classics and Religion Ian Mills
“The Bible is an anthology of books. Each book — written centuries apart by diverse persons in various languages – has its own origin story. But the bible too had to be invented.
Wherefrom the idea of a closed corpus of uniquely authoritative texts? Professor Mills tells a story of evolving information technologies, heresy, apocrypha, and the invention of the Bible by Jews and Christians in the second century CE.”
Free and open to the public!
