In case you were unaware of it, the SBL has been at the forefront of an endeavor to teach the Bible in the public schools. Below is a Fox News interview with Kent Richards, Director of SBL. Kent is a very nice guy and the right strategic person behind this project. I recall discussing it with him at dinner a couple years ago at SBL.
Fantastic, its too late for us here in the UK but i hope this programme takes hold in other US states, Theology aside for a moment it sounds like a great class and could bring forth great fruit to inspire a future generation, plus it will be genuinely interesting to see how the Bible has impacted and effected the world..Good stuff, lucky pupils.
