I think all of the presenters did a great job. One thing that caught my attention was when Sue said that Abraham, Moses, and King David did not have Bibles to guide them. I had not really thought about that before. For some reason i just always had in mind that the Bible just was and tended to forget that it had to be written.I never did pay any attention to the dates in which the books of the Bible were published. Which is to say dates do matter , at least when one is referring to the Bible. They help to better understand the text . Another fact i liked was what Shawn said that the Bible was most likely molded to fit the needs of the people back then. It was not necessarily written as events actually happened but most likely events were changed somewhat to meet the need of the people. Because of this the Bible can only be used as a second source history book.
