Read Now Download Now ⏭ listen AudioBook
Description:This book isn't a partisan account declaring the bible's absolute historical accuracy. It's a fair-minded exploration of the bible's historical truth. Author Sheler is a US News & World Report religion correspondent who relies on interviews, library research & onsite reports from Israel & Egypt. Instead of claiming to offer startling breakthrus, he gives an evenhanded treatment of this controversial text. In a clear, conversational style, he walks readers thru key moments in the Hebrew & Xian canons, exploring the grounds for the historical truth behind such figures as Abraham, Moses & David, & behind such scriptural accounts as the flood & Exodus. He retells the story of the discovery of the Qumran scrolls & explores their significance for understanding 1st-century Judaism & early Xianity. He also discusses the work of the controversial Jesus Seminar. His own conclusions, while not evangelical, aren't deconstructive: "After all of the scholarly scrutiny, the bible emerges affirmed but not unscathed, a credible but complex chronicle of humanity's encounter with god."--Doug Thorpe (edited)AcknowledgmentsIntroductionThe Bible & History Centuries of Conflict: The Battle for the Bible Canon & Content: The Bible as Sacred ScriptureAuthor & Authority: Who Wrote the Bible?
