(The video above is an intro video to the series to help introduce what topics Dr. Brant Pitre will be covering in this 3part series).


Have you ever wondered where did the Bible come from? Or, how did we get the Bible? What's the history of the Bible and it's form as we have it today? Also, who even wrote the Bible and how long did it take? Did someone codify the writings as "The Bible," or did it simply slide down a rainbow?

In this exciting 3part series available through Catholic Productions at the links above and below, Dr. Brant Pitre takes you on a tour of how we got the Bible.

In this series, Dr. Brant Pitre will cover a host of topics and questions such as:

• What is the overarching history of the Bible and how it came to be?

• Why are there different Bibles and which one is the real Bible?

• How did the Old Testament Canon formation come about?

• During the time of Jesus was there a set canon or list of books that made up the Old Testament?

• What is the history of the Jewish Bible? Did different sects like the Sadducees, Pharisees, and Essenes all have different ideas of what actually constituted what Christians call today "The Old Testament"?

• Were there any other writings swirling around at the time of Christ that are not found in the Old Testament?

• What are the Dead Sea Scrolls that were found at Qumran in the 1940's and what do they have to tell us about the history of the Bible, and the Old Testament in particular?

• Was there ever a Council of Jamnia where Rabbis got together and officially codified the contents of what Christians today call "The Old Testament"?

• Who wrote the New Testament and how did its canon form?

• What was the early Church doing without a Bible, before it was written and before it was compiled into one "library"?

• How was the New Testament canon and Old Testament canon finally formed by the Church in the 4th century, and by what authority was this decision made?

• During the Protestant Reformation, were books of the Bible taken out by some Reformers or did the Reformers disclose that the Catholic Church had added books to the Bible?

• Can Sola Scriptura be justified.... even by the Bible?

If you are curious about the History of the Bible, who wrote it, how we now have an official Bible that many of us perhaps take for granted, then join Dr. Pitre in this series, The Origin of the Bible, to learn more.
