Oracles of God Website

It has long been said that the Holy Bible has been and is the most influential book in the world. And why not? Written more than 1,500 years ago by more than 40 writers in three different languages, this tome known as the Word of God has influenced and shaped Western civilization in a host of notable areas as related to law, language, and cultures.

Christians view the Holy Bible as a living document, one that deepens their faith and serves as a guidebook to navigate through the challenges that daily living presents.

For as much as modern civilization continues to utilize the valuable lessons found within the Bible’s 66 chapters, little is known about how it came to be. How it was created and came together is sometimes a bit of a mystery to those who spend time immersed in reading it day by day.

Erin Zimmerman is a documentary filmmaker who has devoted much of her professional life to digging deeper into how things came to be as viewed through the lens of Scripture. In her latest film, “Oracles of God: The Story of the New Testament”, Zimmerman uses expert interviews, stunning cinematography, and dramatic reenactments to present how the text of the New Testament was written, painstakingly copied, and preserved over thousands of years.

Filmed on location in Israel, Zimmerman places a special focus on the oldest copies of the Hebrew Bible and the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Zimmerman joins us on the Crossmap Podcast to walk us through why the bestselling book of all time remains one of the most controversial texts in world history. Listen as she shares various misconceptions about the Bible and how she set out to dispel them in "Oracles of God".
