Synopsis

History or myth? The word of God or the words of men? What is the Bible? This history, especially written for this recording, describes clearly and concisely how the Bible came into being, what it contains and its appearance in the ancient languages of Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek and Latin.

This fascinating, accessible introduction places the Bible in its religious and cultural context, showing why men lived and died in its shadow.
