Christianity has been influenced many ways over the past 2000 or so years by OTHER religions. This influence has included everything from church doctrine to decisions as to which of the original texts were / were not included in the Bible. So if it were truly a history course - I personally am curious as to WHY the course utilizes ONLY the Bible ?

There is also the concern of - is it really a history course about the Bible e.g. findings / current scientific beliefs concerning when the original texts were written ( and who wrote what )... why certain texts were included and some excluded ... how the inclusion / exclusion of those texts affected the continued genesis of the Christian religion... and so forth...

OR...

Is it being taught as thought the Bible is an 'accurate' documentation of history - based on the teacher's ( or ? ) personal interpretation e.g. the world is only 6000 years old and on quiet days Jesus used to take his late model dinosaur and go cruising around town... ?
