Listen "07 HOW YOUR STORY BECAME A RELIGIOUS TEXT."
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textHey Text and Rockers!This one is all about how your story became a religious text.I always tell folks that if your pastor/rabbi/imam/gurucannot tell you where their holy book came from in five minutes or less... listen to someone else teach it.Seriously, if the litmus test for quoting the Bible at someonewas...knowing how we got the Bible.... then I might join Twitter. Ha!Join us to talk aboutHow holy books are fundamentally human literature.Why it is a community that makes a piece of literature "sacred".An overview of the diverse types of religious texts.How copying "fixes" a sacred text...and creates a problem of relevance.Why cultural evolution necessitates interpretation and re-interpretation.How Mark HATES dropbox.This one is fun... and in 40 years of church I've never heard anyone tell me how a book like the Bible becomes a book like the Bible. So here you go. 🏛🔥🌌⚡️👊🏼We hope this discussion of what is ancient makes your tomorrow better!You can find out about all things TEXT AND ROCK by clicking HEREor by heading to www.textandrock.com.
