Reviews

Praise for A History of the Bible : "John Barton has written a wise and eminently sane book about a book which has inspired both insanity and wisdom. It is a landmark in the field, and it will do great good." -- Diarmaid MacCulloch "John Barton's new book gives a superb overview... condensing masses of research into an easily accessible volume for the non-specialist ... even for those deeply familiar with the Bible there is much here to be learnt." -- Bart D Ehrman, author of The Triumph of Christianity: How a Forbidden Religion Swept the World "With emotional and psychological insight, Barton unlocks this sleeping giant of our culture for the untrained but curious general reader... He has produced a masterpiece." -- Peter Stanford, Sunday Times "This strikingly accessible yet wonderfully erudite volume will be welcomed by many ... a tour de force." -- BBC History Magazine "Barton's rigorous, accessible history will appeal to academics and general readers alike." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review

Synopsis

A literary history of our most influential book of all time, by an Oxford scholar and Anglican priest In our culture, the Bible is monolithic: It is a collection of books that has been unchanged and unchallenged since the earliest days of the Christian church. The idea of the Bible as "Holy Scripture," a non-negotiable authority straight from God, has prevailed in Western society for some time. And while it provides a firm foundation for centuries of Christian teaching, it denies the depth, variety, and richness of this fascinating text. In A History of the Bible , John Barton argues that the Bible is not a prescription to a complete, fixed religious system, but rather a product of a long and intriguing process, which has inspired Judaism and Christianity, but still does not describe the whole of either religion. Barton shows how the Bible is indeed an important source of religious insight for Jews and Christians alike, yet argues that it must be read in its historical context--from its beginnings in myth and folklore to its many interpretations throughout the centuries. It is a book full of narratives, laws, proverbs, prophecies, poems, and letters, each with their own character and origin stories. Barton explains how and by whom these disparate pieces were written, how they were canonized (and which ones weren't), and how they were assembled, disseminated, and interpreted around the world--and, importantly, to what effect. Ultimately, A History of the Bible argues that a thorough understanding of the history and context of its writing encourages religious communities to move away from the Bible's literal wording--which is impossible to determine--and focus instead on the broader meanings of scripture., A literary history of the most influential book of all time, by an Oxford scholar and Anglican priest., A literary history of our most influential book of all time, by an Oxford scholar and Anglican priest In our culture, the Bible is monolithic: It is a collection of books that has been unchanged and unchallenged since the earliest days of the Christian church.

Book described as very good, explicitly mentioning that the cover is intact. Arrived damaged and I kindly contacted the customer service. Neither I were offered a partial refund at least but was also asked to return the book on my own expense!!! Unbelievable arrogance and unprofessional attitude! Not to mention, for a 42$ transaction, one expects to get what they commit to!
