We explore Christianity and the Bible from an academic perspective. Our lectures cover history, theology, philosophy, mythology, archaeology, and biblical studies. John Hamer, map maker, historian, and pastor, makes complex subjects accessible and engaging with graphic models, charts, and timelines. Our channel also features the online church service Beyond the Walls and the musical recordings of the Beyond the Walls Choir.

Video Description
The Bible is the best-selling book of all time and many people, including Christians, imagine that its authors were writing with a single voice with the final canon in mind. But, of course, the Bible is actually a library of texts written in different languages over the course of centuries, that reflect the diverse contexts of its authors, most of whom never imagined that their individual book would eventually be part of a “Bible.” While it’s often assumed that the final canon was approved at the Council of Nicaea, this is not the case. In fact, canonization was a slow and haphazard process, which resulted in different lists for different branches of Christianity (Catholic, Protestant/Anglican, Orthodox, and others). John Hamer of Toronto Centre Place will look at criteria used to create the canon and the historical development of the Bible.
