Whose Bible Is It? A History of the Scriptures Through the Ages
by Jaroslav Pelikan
No book has been more pored over, has been the subject of more commentary & controversy, or had more influence not only on religious beliefs but also on our culture & language. No book has been as widely read. But how did the bible become the book we know? Pelikan takes readers thru the books evolution from its earliest incarnation as oral tales to its modern existence in various iterations, translations & languages. From the earliest Hebrew texts & its appearance in Greek, then Latin, he explores the canonization of different bibles & why certain books were adopted by certain sects, as well as the development of the printing press, the translation into modern languages & varying schools of critical scholarship. Both a work of scholarship & a fascinating read, Whose Bible Is It? will be welcomed by the many fans of Elaine Pagelss books & Adam Nicolsons Gods Secretaries.
