4:15 p.m., Lecture from Biblical Scholar Dan McClellan, Olmsted Room at Mandelle Hall: People commonly appeal to the authority of the Bible as a trump card in debates about morality and public policy, but do they really know what it says? Does it even speak at all? In this presentation, Dan McClellan will discuss insights from cognitive linguistics, the cognitive science of religion, and critical biblical studies that demonstrate that “the Bible says so” almost always means “I say so, but I need the Bible’s authority.” More information available here.
