A History of the Bible: The Story of the World’s Most Influential Book

byJohn Barton

Focused on the Story of the World’s Most Influential Book, A History of the Bible brings John Barton's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of nature and religion. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. Together, these elements make A History of the Bible an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise.
