2008-08-10 An Exellent Rendition Of The Many Influences That Has become The Bible As We Know It.

This is my first title Ive read from this author, and I have to say that her work rightfully sits as some of the best on this topic. What can be a very heavy and often tiresome subject, the origens of the Bible. Bt Armstrongs triumph is the simplicity in how she explians the many different influences that have had a major effect on the compilations of old and new testament. Her knowledge on the topic is deep and profound, unbiased and objective. She stays clear of the theology and hocus pocus that is currently surrounding the origins of Christianity, and doesnt jump on the da vinci code band wagon.

Her Acedemia is very apparent within her writtn words, narrating and focussing on which periods of time has had the most effect on the scribes of the old testament and makes educated estimations on which versions have lead to the foundation and building block of the bible.

An exelent book well worth reading. It will certainly open your eyes to just how the most important book ever written has had such an effect on our history, and how it continues to dominate our spiritual exsistence.
