Virtual Roundtable: Demystifying the Gospels: Does it matter what the Bible says?

Does the Bible really tell us so?

How do we understand scriptural authority today, and how do we distinguish ourselves from the assumption that "the Bible says" therefore we must obey?

Join us as we talk with Christianity Seminar scholars Elli Elliott and Celene Lillie and delve deeper into how -- and if -- we should interpret scripture as relevant today. We'll talk about what became known as the canon, as well as how newly-discovered extra-canonical texts factor into these conversations.

The roundtable replay is available here.
