Overview

Keith Ward introduces this volume on the world’s greatest ever bestseller by suggesting that the Bible is neither a book dictated by God, as some believe, nor just a set of outdated taboos and politically slanted histories, as those at the opposite extreme maintain. Rather, it is a very mixed set of documents, by many different writers, from many different times, which records the struggle of many people in one particular religious tradition to respond to their discernments of a transcendent spiritual power.

The Logos version integrates seamlessly into your personal digital library and allows you to access dictionaries and other reference resources with a click. Read your preferred Scripture translation alongside this fascinating examination of Scripture.

    Even if the work is trash, I'm glad that Logos sells it. It makes it easier to read, know, and refute the arguments of heretics.

    While Ward deals with a subject which is of importance for any Christian in a modern world (and while in some respects I would agree with him), his big failing is that he subjects everything to what seems right to his moral sensibility. Was this not the same attitude for which the king of Tyre was satirized ("I will be like God"); is it not the same attitude which is revealed in the Beast of Revelation; is it not that which is recounted in the story of the Garden ("You shall be like God"—"He has become like us"). While I certainly think that we need to reconsider our understanding of scripture, it is a new understanding of scripture which is needed, not a replacement of scripture with our own preferences.
