What about the Bible?

Daniel Garneau, B Th, B Com, MA
April 18, 2014

The author presents briefly the autobiographical context which gave rise to his interacting with theologians such as Paul Tillich, Hans Küng and Paul Ricoeur, on Bible interpretation, which led to his writing of an essay on how the Bible can be understood today, titled, Comment comprendre la Bible aujourd'hui ? (pdf, 139 p.).

The above synthesis will eventually be followed or replaced by an English translation in due form. In the meantime the contents of this web page can be consulted in French, Que penser de la Bible ?, and in Spanish, ¿Cómo entender la Biblia?. To view a detailed status of translation to English of this site's web pages, please visit Reviewing.

What follows is exclusively proposed in the English language version of this Web site, mostly because it is dependent on outside sources that are not available in French. The video interviews below aim at providing a general understanding about some aspects of the Bible that are often challenged by its critics. They are graciously provided at at 100 Huntly Street, and can be consulted by browsing Videos, and Interviews, then using the Search Videos field, or simply by clicking the titles you are interested in directly from the list immediately below:
