This is more an overview and not a verse by verse lecture. A bit history thrown in and spiced with the importance of this book in some denominations.
Don't be balanced, be honest and truthful. Don't weaken your position by worrying about how others may feel; however, be calm and disarming to make your audience more receptive.

I hope you do well. I'd likely be rolling my eyes in the background; negative lectures about the Bible don't impress me as I generally don't care for the agendas of those giving them. It's nothing against you but I'm tired of hearing that kind of negativity. If you want Truth, remember that it sheds light on large periods of history that we may not know about without it.
