Rob Bell, creator of Nooma, asks the question: where did religion come from?
Where did the first caveman or cave-woman get the idea that somebody, somewhere existed who needed to be worshipped, appeased, and followed?
And how did the idea evolve that if you didn't say, do, or offer the right things this being would be upset, agitated, or even angry with you?
Where did religion come from?
Part anthropology, part history, part deconstruction -- this is new material that Rob hasn't taught before, exploring how humans invented religion to make themselves feel better.
Rob Bell lives with his family in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he’s the founding pastor of Mars Hill Bible Church. He also teaches in a short film format called NOOMA, and his first books are Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith and Sex God: Exploring the Endless Connections Between Sexuality and Spirituality.
