A Must Read ...,
By
This review is from: A Short History of the Bible (Paperback)
This book is so compelling. First published in 1881, it is "an inquiry into the origin and development of the doctrine of divine revelation, beginning with a time when the books composing the Bible were not considered inspired, and following belief, in the light of history and approved scholarship, from its inception to the present day. In the course of the investigation it ... show[s] who first affirmed the books to be inspired, why they so affirmed, and the intellectual character of affirmants; who, so far as is known, compiled them into the volume now denominated the Bible; what books are now included in the Bible which in earlier days were excluded, and what are now excluded which were then included; what councils of the church voted out, and where the theory originated that we must believe the Bible or be damned."
I got a 1909 edition of the book about 3 years ago ... and am so pleasantly surprised to see that it is being reprinted and sold here in Amazon. This book is a required reading for Christians ... if they want to sober up. |
