| Scheduled to open next Friday, a 430,000 sf "theme park" costing $509 million funded by Steve Green, head of Hobby Lobby, devoted to the xtian bible. - Quote :
- And there are just two references to Islam, in a plaque that says the Bible and Quran do not share any text but contain many references to the same events and people, and in a Hebrew Bible section that includes mention of both Isaac and Ishmael.
Excuse me, I thought the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Bible, were shared by Christianity, Islam and Judaism. - Quote :
- At times, the museum feels heavier on the experience than it does on details. There is not much discussion on the debate over how the Bible was written and transmitted, for example, a major branch of biblical scholarship. “To us that was a topic we just didn’t really want to step into with limited square footage,” Pollinger said. “We’re hoping to raise curiosity rather than close it down.”
Probably no mention of the Council of Nicaea then |
