Good book

Yeah we know it’s all inspired by God, no doubt. Book really starts to live up to it’s tittle starting page 155!

Excellent Resource.

This book is a must have for anyone interested in an introduction to the Bible's origin. I would say it's a must have for any Christian's library. Excellent for beginning Christian's who really want some solid introductory answers as to the Bible's origin. Very easy read if you have some familiarity with the material. I especially enjoyed the section on the Biblical languages. It really gives those who are just learning that the Bible was written in Hebrew/Aramaic (Old Testament) and Greek (New Testament) a picture as to the importance of each language. Give it a try, you'll enjoy it!

Great introduction. Not overly academic.

A well written introduction to the history of the Bible as we have it today -- written by some outstanding scholars of our day. If you're looking for the nitty-gritty details, try one of Bruce Metzger's numerous books -- all very good, but highly academic.More than just a straight look at the transmission of manuscripts, this book looks at translation issues (including questions translators need to address when translating from Greek into languages other than English, a nice touch).Highly recommended.
