Review:
This is an examination of the various books that make up the Old and New Testaments from a historical perspective. At no point does it descend into polemic, and when the author is making a best-guess from the available evidence he makes this clear, and explains his reasoning. It is a series of considered judgements, with evidence, and a million miles from some of the sensationalist exposés that are often found in books about the Christian religion. Yet through it's calmness and rational approach it provides a far more compelling argument against belief than is to be found in the recent spate of anti-religious books, such as "The God Delusion". This isn't through argument against religion, but through careful explanation of the text, the history of the text, and comparisons to evidence that we do have for the time in question. The misunderstandings, and accidents of history that led to the success of the texts that make up the Bible become breathtaking when spelt out within this book. Note that you need a copy of the bible at hand when reading it!
