I’m not sure what Bible Glenn Beck is reading, but it must be some modern-day “Jefferson Bible” version, one with all the bits he doesn’t agree with expurgated. One can’t read the Sermon on the Mount or any of the Hebrew prophets and come away with the idea that the Bible teaches “Whoever dies with the most toys wins!”
My review of a talk that Guilford College’s Max Carter gave at the Bible Association of Friends:
Max Carter gave the Bible Association of Friends this past weekend at Moorestown (NJ) Friends Meeting. Max is a long-time educator and currently heads the Quaker Leadership Scholars Program at Guilford College, a program that has produced a number of active twenty-something Friends in recent years. The Bible Association is one of those great Philadelphia relics that somehow survived a couple of centuries of upheavals and still plugs along with a mission more-or-less crafted at it’s founding in the early 1800s: it distributes free Bibles to Friends, Friends schools and any First Day School class that might answer their inquiries.
