Origins of the Bible - a secular perspective

The Bible is the most influential book in the history of Western civilization, so it is helpful for even secular folks to know something about it. In this meeting Don will lead a discussion about the origins of the Bible (from the perspective of critical and secular scholars). We will meet at a location in Central Austin (near Lions Municipal Golf Course). Send email to doncastig@gmail.com for the address of this meetup. Optionally join us for lunch after the meeting. Follow us on Facebook (Austin Humanist Community) or at austinhumanist.org Typical attendance 10-15 humanists. Please note: Atheists, agnostics, skeptics, free-thinkers, questioning, and believers - whatever you like to call yourselves, you are welcome here. At AHC we call ourselves secular humanists because you will never hear anything supernatural promoted from the podium. AHC was founded on the principles of scientific naturalism and secular ethics, which commits us, on the one hand, to reason and evidence-based thinking, and, on the other, to compassion for our fellow human beings. These commitments motivate us to oppose magical and wishful thinking and all forms of dogma, as well as to stand firmly against all forms of oppression.
