few days ago there appeared news that, from mid-September, RAI will dedicate 140 hours of reading the Bible in direct [1]. Personally, we do not find anything so strange or wrong.
consider the Bible text mythological and therefore of great cultural importance. Mythology is a work of intellect and imagination that expresses human culture, customs and traditions of the people, rituals and social behavior, and expresses the sense of morality and ethics rooted in a people. So the study of mythology, Christian, Roman, Greek, Egyptian or whatever, Basically it is to understand the nature of human behavior.
That said, the problem comes when you try to impose a particular mythology as Truth, and its precepts as divine precepts, and dogmatic indisputable. So I think that reading passages accurately selected as the Truth of the Bible sold out, without a critical and historical contextualization , is something quite harmful and should be avoided.
We'll see what happens.
