Bible Secrets to be Revealed....but not until next week

On Nov. 13 at 10pm ET, the History Channel will debut an intriguing six-part series called "Bible Secrets Revealed." Click here to view the provocative trailer. The claims are a bit sensationalist for my tastes: This series "will challenge everything we think, everything we know, and everything we believe about the Bible." Even so, the series looks as though it will tackle some of the current hot topics in our culture's treatment of the Bible. Duke University's Mark Goodacre has posted the tentative schedule and titles on his blog:

“Lost in Translation” – November 13, 2013

“The Promised Land” – November 18, 2013
“The Forbidden Scriptures” – November 25, 2013
“The Real Jesus” – December 2, 2013
“Mysterious Prophecies” – December 16, 2013
“Sex and the Bible” – December 23, 2013

Among the list of prominent scholars who are being interviewed (posted at Robert Cargill’s blog), I was glad to see one of my undergraduate professors, Gary Burge (Wheaton College). If anyone watches the first episode, I would welcome your comments.
