Summer 2021 Course
The Bible, Slavery, and the Civil War with Dr. Mark Noll
July 26 – 30 • 9am – 12pm
The North Carolina Study Center is honored to host Dr. Mark Noll to teach this summer’s local Regent course. Dr. Noll is one of the most renowned living Church historians.
This course will examine the prominence of the Bible in American history from the American Revolutionary through the Civil War. It emphasizes the long and bitter debates over whether Scripture allowed for the American system of enslavement, the different patterns of biblical interpretation found in black and white communities, and the widespread deployment of Scripture during the Civil War itself. Beyond discussing important matters of national history and the history of Christian faith, it will also consider how awareness of this history may help believers study, understand, and follow the Scriptures today.

Monday (7/26): The Centrality of the Bible in Early U.S. History
-
Tuesday (7/27): The Bible and Slavery as a Perpetual Source of Conflict.
