"Pop-history garbage. If you're looking for a history of the bible, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a goodread, look elsewhere."

"Pelikan can be so richly informative that I am given to read sentences multiple times over. This is the sort of author whose knowledge is so thorough that he is writing for an audience of peers where, in spots, his publisher may have tried to encourage Pelikan to "dumb it down" a bit for the rest of us gentiles. It is precisely for this reason that I find this material of extraordinary value and importance. This is not your typical argument for/against the influence of Constantine or the Catholic church or the Jewish followers of "The Way" on the Bible as we know it today, but a thoughtful and staunch examination of the Hebrew culture and Jewish faith as the driving context with which the entire bible both Tanakh and "Christian scriptures" must be read. I have read much on how each individual book was selected (or why they may have been selected) for the modern KJV/NKJ/NIV/ESV/Catholic bibles and some on how the Tanakh was "established" but this book intends to consider more than Bible composition by emphasizing how we must approach it and what that means to believers of the three Abrahamic faiths. I checked it out from the library and am now buying it as it is one of those books which will prove to be a reference for other sub-sects of future study."

"First part is a discussion of oral tradition and written word. There are synopses of the various books and their being written and spoken in Hebrew, Greek and Arabic. Brief history of the refo rmation, etc. gives hint that alot of problems are in the translation, and therein is also a cause of religious and ethnic strife."
