Books can be attributed to "Anonymous" for several reasons:
* They are officially published under that name * They are traditional stories not attributed to a specific author * They are religious texts not generally attributed to a specific author
Books whose authorship is merely uncertain should be attributed to Unknown.
A Good Book! OK, well, you had to know that joke was coming. It took me more than a year (19 months) to read this one-year Bible, but I'm sure glad I did. It gave me a good sense of the sweep of the book, and I learned some more about crevices of biblical history about which I was previously completely ignorant. I had a few key takeaways: --I dig the New Testament. --Ditto the Psalms. --Worshipping idols = not a good idea. --No matter how much you might doubt God, and no matter how tempting it might be to start worshipping idols like X group next door, it is really, really not a good idea to start worshipping idols.
Of course, I also experienced a great bit of fantastic literature, found that I loved books I barely knew existed (Sirach?), and grew in my faith. Keep an eye on this book...I really think it's got a chance to be successful.
I rate this not based on the content, but on the idea of the book's organization: While it is a helpful tool if you want to read the entire Bible, its structure seems to give all parts of the Bible equal weight. Everyone should have a functional knowledge of Genesis, Exodus, the Gospels, Revelation, etc. Leave the arcana (Numbers, the Chronicles, etc.) to specialists.
If you wish to commit to reading the entire Bible in one year, this is a good way to divide your readings so that you can honor the commitment. Each day consists of sections from the Old Testament and New Testament.
