The Celtic World  
 
Who are the Celts? (And did 
Celtic druids really worship at 
Stonehenge?) Our understanding 
of the millennia-old Celtic society 
has been transformed by brand-
new DNA evidence that totally 
changes our perspective on where 
the Celts came from and how they 
profoundly affected European 
history and culture. Covering 2,500 
years of epic history, these lectures 
begin with Celtic origins in the 
6th century B.C., move through 
Celtic culture, religion, politics and 
warfare, and end with a look at 
modern Celtic nations and people.

Honors program at The Catholic

The History of the Bible:  
The Making of the New Testament Canon  
 
Designed for Christians and non-Christians alike, this lively course introduces 
key issues about the New Testament — when the books were written, 
who wrote them, and how it was decided which books to include. Get 
steeped in the historical context of the times, including issues of language, 
oral history, theological forces shaping Christianity, and — of course — 
the physical limitations of spreading the written word at a time when the 
printing press lay far in the future. A leading biblical scholar, Bart D. Erhman 
is the author of 20+ books and the James A. Gray Distinguished Professor 
of Religious Studies at UNC.
