A great book for learning about how we got the Bible and how the Bible changed the world. Lots of outstanding pictures. Written by Christians who have worked for Reader's Digest Books--so the writing is clear and easy to understand. The book is getting wide attention here and overseas, and is even being printed in China. I can understand why. It's a great resource for people who want to get better acquainted with the Bible. And apparently, a lot of people do. Looks like a coffeetable book. But it reads like a great story. The book is divided into 2-page spreads, with feature topics like these: Lost Books of the Bible The "Almost" Scriptures Using and Abusing the Bible Doomsday Specialists Evidence Supporting the Bible Bible Trivia and Oddities (my favorite) A sample piece of trivia is that history scholars suspect that the printer's wife of a German Bible in the 1500s made a women's lib editorial change. The words God spoke to Eve after she sinned was that from now on she would be subject to Adam: "Und er soll dein Herr sein," (and he will be your master). But she changed Herr to Narr--"master" to "fool." You'll enjoy this book.
