What is taught about the Bible in Sunday school and in seminaries doesn't always jibe with history or even what the bible actually says. In Satan's Guide to the Bible, a cartoon Satan shares Bible secrets that pastors learn at Christian seminary but are afraid to share with their congregations. Thankfully, Satan's not afraid of losing his job.Satan has amassed an impressive list of biblical scholars ready to reveal the "standard stuff" taught in Christian seminaries: Bart Ehrman (UNC Chapel Hill), John J. Collins (Yale), Dale Allison (Princeton Seminary), Susan Niditch (Amherst), Ron Hendel (UC Berkeley), and Hector Avalos (Iowa State). This is established seminary curriculum about biblical history, biblical morals, authorship claims, and early Christianity — a curriculum never shared with the congregation.
Darkly comedic, but thoroughly researched, Satan's Guide to the Bible is a fascinating journey into the secrets of the world's best-selling book. Released free on YouTube on Dec. 26 of 2013, the film amassed over a million views in the first 3 months and dozens of response videos.
Directed by documentary filmmaker Zeke Piestrup (Apocalypse Later: Harold Camping Vs. the End of the World) and produced by animation filmmaker Tim Johnson (Antz, Over the Hedge, Home).
