Reviews

I bet this guy would have really liked the hobby lobby bible museum in DC. The book does a barebones, sketchy job explaining how the Bible came to be! Perhaps it’s all they knew 80 years ago!

fascinating read, learned a lot about the compiling of old and new testaments and their subsequent translations & revisions.
