I hesitated to put this in because it reflects an academic view of a sacred book--and that doesn't always mesh with the religious views of the same text. However, religious views don't mesh with each other regarding the same text, either, so here it is:

Parents: You might want to preview the videos before you show them to your kids, just so you are aware of a) the biases and b) the jargon (for example, one speaker uses the term "folklore" to refer to the contents of the Bible. In popular parlance, this has a connotation of "false" or "lies" or "fiction." As an academic term, however, "folklore" refers exclusively to material that was transmitted in a certain way, regardless of the verity of the subject matter, and is, therefore, NOT a statement of the truth or untruth of the Bible, but only of how it was transmitted in early times according to scholarly understanding).
