The Bible is the central book of Western culture. In two religions, giving it the status of scripture, the Bible is the basis of the foundations, the key authority is what to believe and how to live. For unbelievers, the Bible is one of the greatest works of world literature, whose images are forever woven into our language and thinking. John Barton’s book is a fascinating story about the long intriguing evolution of the Holy Texts Corps, which we call the Bible about what the Bible itself is. The reader will receive an idea of how it was created, how it was understood, from the origins of its existence to the present day. John Barton describes how books were written in the Bible: historical sections, collections of laws, parables, prophecies, poetic works and messages, and by what principle the ancient compilers included them in the general composition. You will learn about the colossal and complete mysteries of the work of scribes and editors, who lasted centuries and ended with the appearance of the Bible in the form in which it is presented today in printed and electronic publications
