Review: Most important read - Short read but great beginning book on understanding the Bible. For Christians like me that question the who what and why of the Bible this book is great. Im starting on A History of the Bible next.
Review: A must read for the educated - In the past the Bible was read as if it were a constitution and what it said was determined by the view of the teacher. Now we must let it say what it says and not insist that it says what I want it to say.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must read for the educated
*by B***G on April 8, 2014*

In the past the Bible was read as if it were a constitution and what it said was determined by the view of the teacher. Now we must let it say what it says and not insist that it says what I want it to say.
