A Walk through the Old Testament Part 1 with Dr Margaret Barker

Christians use a vast library of Jewish writings from the time before Jesus in their worship, reflection, and study -- and they call this library 'the Old Testament.' It has played such a part in Christian culture down the centuries that many of its stories -- such as those about Adam and Eve, Noah and the Ark, Abraham, and Moses (to take stories from just the first book of this library) -- are part of our cultural memory. But getting an overview, a sense of the whole, of this library is very difficult! So this is the first of four videos that are aims at giving just such panoramic guide to this collection of ancient books.
