The Origins of the Bible

The research conducted in the last few decades has revised many conventional assumptions about the history of Israel and the origins of the Bible. Events like the Exodus from Egypt and the building of the First Temple under King Solomon are no longer considered historical events. This gives an edge to the question of how the greatest stories from the Old Testament were written and when they became part of the Holy Scripture. Conventional assumptions about how the gospels or the epistles were collected have come under new scrutiny. This book looks at the latest research to describe the long journey that the early stories and songs that also existed in other cultures took to become the holy books of two world religions. Those who want to know how these kinds of miracles of transmission history occurred are advised to read this biography of the world's most famous book.
