The Origin of the Bible

The Origin of the Bible

1992 • 350 pages

Many books have been written about the Bible, but few explain its origins. This volume provides a fascinating overview of how the Bible was first inspired, canonized, read as sacred literature, copied in ancient Hebrew and Greek manuscripts, and eventually translated into the languages of the world. No other one-volume work can match this wealth of information about the historical development of the Bible.

I borrowed this on kindle so it expired before I finished it. So I can't comment about the end. Overall, I was not impressed. It just seems like it is fighting for an understanding of scripture that doesn't get us anywhere.

My slightly longer comments are on my blog http://bookwi.se/comfort/
