This Osher class will examine selected biblical texts which have caused mischief among believers and non-believers alike. How much in the Bible, if anything, has scientific validity? To answer that question, this course will look at passages and creation stories in Genesis, the story of Noah and the flood, the narrative of the Exodus from Egypt, the accounts of Jesus’ miracles and a number of other biblical wonder tales.

The first course will be Wednesday, May 6, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Manhattan Arts Center. Prior registration is necessary to attend this class. Sign up in the Blue Book at the Hospitably Desk to attend this course. Transportation is provided.
