You’ll see below we’ve put a link to the class replay vidoe and Monte’s slide show (often referred to by fans as her “notes”!). We’ll hopefully have a beautiful Study Guide for this and all classes. Stay tuned!Â

We’ll include pre-readings here on these class posts, Â as well as any other references Monte uses in class. This first class, there are NO pre-readings.
Pre-Readings!
This very first class, Monte did NOT have pre-readings. Pre-readings start with Class 2: The Bible and Abortion. This time, just watch class and if you’re so inclined, take notes!
Note that Monte re-taught this class months later with the same slide show. So there are 2 videos to access if you want.

A collection of three key “lost” books of the bible, offering insight into the origins of early Christianity.
In the early days of the Christian faith there were many writings, only some of which became part of the canonical Bible. But what of the other books, known as apocryphal texts…which of those are worth reading? One of the most influential and well-known of these apocryphal texts is The Books of Enoch, a collection of three ancient Hebrew texts that contain teachings about angels, demons, the great flood, as well as mystical prophecies.

“The Bible Says!”
with Dan McClellan
“In this conversation we really approach cultural issues and arguments being made about the Bible, especially about biblical history, and the ways in recent years its been used to ostracize and demonize groups of people and the burning question- is that what the Bible really teaches??” Â – Monte
