Book description
Keith Ward introduces this volume on the world's greatest ever
bestseller by suggesting that the Bible is neither a book dictated by
God, as some believe, nor just a set of out-dated taboos and
politically slanted histories, as those at the opposite extreme
maintain. Rather, it is a very mixed set of documents, by many
different writers, from many different times, which records the
struggle of many people in one particular religious tradition to
respond to their discernments of a transcendent spiritual power.
